27 forum posts	Hi Steve I make small items like boxes and woodturning for the club's craft stall but took a portfolio of work along with me to craft fairs and from this I got commissions based on the fact people liked the stuff on the stall and would trust me to make other items for them. I only make furniture to order as I can't store anything! I also take payment for the timber before I start. Getting stuff published in the magazines also helped! Good luck.
