I make automata and wooden novelties in small batches but there are trade-offs.
I have automata and plans at www.lowbot.co.uk
I talk here about the different challenges presented by making in batches. Both in the creation but also on the demand side of selling my automata and craftworks. I recount the issue I had selling my wrens with eggs through ETSY and also a recent debacle with spray painting not turning out as expected. Enjoy a healthy dose of Schadenfreude!

Hi Philip, thank you so much for sharing your experience. Having recently retired, I’m keen to look into this craft, not as a means to generate an income but to just enjoy the process. I’ve worked with wood most of my life and only recently learnt new skills using a lathe and wood turning. Your videos around painting (another skill to learn) are most helpful and I’m keen to catch up on anything which will assist me. I guess I just wanted you to know that your channel is fun to watch and your approach, calm and extremely honest, is a pleasure to watch. Many thanks. Wayne

Thanks Philip. I am thinking of adding a small engineering style lathe to my kit list. Just for turning small items of wood and metal. I just didn’t realise how costly they were. I’m looking out for one locally. I’m sure it will help with my new hobby. W

@@wsherratt5159 You will wonder what you did without it once you have one. Did you see that I have a video on my channel on what I do with my lathe?

@@woodenpersonality I’ll take a look. I’m hoping it will help me decide whether it’s a necessary purchase so I justify the expense!! Thanks again Philip. Wayne

Yes, set backs can present opportunities; it’s “just “ a matter of spotting them.
