[TheForge] YAK Dolars YAK OMEGA QUESTION

[Chris Caswell]

I spent about 3500.00 to build my 12x12 shop, probably another three or four
thousand on tools and such.........however I sell enough stuff to cover the
cost of running the shop and pretty much put back most of what I make into
the shop.  I work 32-40 hours per week over 4 days at a "regular" job
(restoring antique lighting) and spend every Friday and sometimes weekends
and nights at my smithy.   Much of my shop income comes from consignment
sales, so there is the problem of having to crank out a bunch of trivets
AGAIN to stock the stores.....fortunately there is enough custom work so I
get challenged every so often.  It would be nice to be able to just go to
the shop and work on what I want to, but then I probably wouldn't have the
shop I have now.
