There has to be a consignment type place near you that sells similar or style-compatible stuff.

I think Facebook & Craigslist are the classics. Insert some kind of a cue that indicates you are female, ull get interested buyers. Then just pretend ur the boyfriend when they showup.

Are you just looking to sell the set and be done or is this going to be a start of a business (or money-making hobby)?

edit: missed the marketing / sales coach bit

I'm sure she has said this already...but create a website. Or, at the very least, social media accounts for your business name. Take lots and lots of pictures during the fabrication process. Post the best ones as your pieces go from raw material to finished. Get your friends to follow / like / subscribe or whatever. The important thing is posting often to get your name popping up on people's feeds. Exposure should yield more interested buyers.

Wish you well! Taking a hobby and turning it into a profitable business is the most rewarding way to make mo' monies. A friend of mine turned an old VW bus over a few years ago for fun and now he has his own marine upholstery business and no longer slaves on salary.

Everything he does gets posted. por ejemplo:

Man I want to quit work and make shit 4Lyfe. My girls uncle does it. He sells tables for 30k, 50k, shit like that. Ive sold a few but god damn, NOTHING close to that. I may have broken even with my last job, which wasnt even a sale, just refinishing a counter top. Like, the tools are paid for!

Ive been trying to take pics of my work in the process but I always forget. I need to rework my shop to make that more of a thing. I put a bigass dock light in my shed on this articulating arm, was thinking of attaching a camera to that and just film the whole thing, chop that up.

Thanks for the input. The social media thing, I need to be more active. I have ads up and stuff on apps like offerup, etc. Its just to me though, like my name. I got an insta so thats a start. People actually looked at it, I dont even know how it works I only post shit and look at the hearts in the top right like "woo more hearts". lol

Ive been kinda lazy on the social media front. I need to just make a FB totally separate from my personal FB. Then it might be more interesting and like, ill have a drive to build it. Good idea. Then an email for that fb, etc. Then registering the business. "Big hairy balls plopped menacingly on the table" or "washington redskins" i was thinking for the name. (it has a name, im jk.)

OMG she just said to me "That new saw looks like the trap from those movies, saw."

My neighbors now know what my guffaws sound like.
