(skip to end for question )
Hi folks, I am a "green" woodworker, working sometimes with trees I find after a storm, traditional joinery, and hand tools only. I am from Brazil and I lived in farms and always wanted to do that type of work but only started an year and a half ago. I have been a piano tuner for the past 10 years. I did Alyah two years ago (was also in Yeshivah here before) and it has not been easy financially and business is rather slow with the pianos, but now I just started producing quality furniture to sell. I tune for schools, studios, and privately but the city is so small and the amount of pianos in Israel… I have started a wood workshop at home and just need a way to sell. I am so happy that I am doing what I love and people is really enjoying my work, I just need the business to pick up. I am talking about quality stuff not so easy to market in the internet. I am looking for a high end furniture store that would take my work in consignation, specially because I can't store much of my work where I am now.
Any leads and ideas will be very much appreciated. Internet marketing ideas also appreciated. If you want to support your local woodworker and business and need any furniture or carpentry done, please enter my profile for my number and give me a call or PM me.
I also wanted to make workshops in the summer, outside in a forest working with local wood and I am looking for a forest "to rent" if anyone knows a place not too far from Jer. … Any possible interested people to learn about green woodworking next summer hands up. we will be making chairs from trees…
Another question, whats the equivalent for Secret Jerusalem for Israelis?
Thanks a lot.
