      never sold one yet
      Is there much demand from people who need a cabinet for their walnuts?

          [serious] Aint that the truth. That is by far the most challenging part, there are people like you all over the place, skilled crafters but with no easy ability to access a supply chain or find a way in to the small niche market. I have a quite a few staff now, but still handle the sales and stuff myself. Going well so far, but I think it is just a matter fo time before I need a proper marketing/sales team. My biggest issue so far has been the fact that the items take a lot of work to make, so capacity is a long way from outstripping sales. Some of the orders we are negotiating in the EU are much to big for us to easily handle, but we we will find a way.[/serious]

          Loser!

            sorry, I find it difficult to follow your NZ patois.
            are you saying that I am wasting my time making fine walnut cabinets in my garage ? It's a sort of dream I had, since I was a kid - i enjoy it

              Yep, all my own work.

                Yes you are wasting your time. Give up your dream now.

                  No. Quite sober. Working on a BI application. I see NF has left your muzzle off again. It's a shame your overtly aggressive nature gets the best of you. I'm fairly certain your really just a nice bloke.

                      Tay, luckily we only have two twats on this forum, yourself and Marillionfan. Funny how you two came back around the same time, isn't it?

                      Anyway, post away girls, I for one am not the least bit intimidated by your posts.

                      Oh, as an aside, MF you're not fooling anybody-get a job you bum!
