The members here inside WA that have been following along with my journey are probably wondering what the heck has happened to Labby.

Well, I've been busy building a Woodworking Shop.

In the intrest of time, we decided that we would job out this task. I certainly have the skills to build a shop on the foundation that I made but I am only one person. I could not have completed a building of this size in a reasonable amount of time.

So, we ordered a shed from a pre-fab place and they brought it out and set it up on the foundation. It took them 3 workdays to complete. It would have taken me 2 months working 12 hour days to do the same thing.

You can see the build images over at my woodworkingwarrior.com site if you are interested. If you stop by, feel free to drop a comment on any of the posts. I'd love to hear what you think of the things I'm building.

As I'm creating this brick and mortar business, I'm comparing it to an online business. Of course, my initial cash outlay is much more significant. I could finance 100,000 clicks with Google adwords for a portion of what we are investing in this building. I am using the online skills that I have to help to promote the business (when we are at the point where this makes sense). But mostly, I'm just pursueing my passion for working with wood. I've found my niche.

In this case, with my building, I can correlate it to Wealthy Affiliate itself. My shop will be a place to house my tools and create. Wealthy Affilliate provides the tools for you and a safe place to create your online empire.

May we all succeed with our endeavors.

Wealthy Affiliate has given you a strong foundation to build your business. It looks like you have done just that.Great job .

It's getting there.

Now that's what I call a shed. Time to get whittling.

Not much time spent whittling. I would need a front porch and a couple of Red Bone hounds at my feet.

I think I stick with my labs.

Hey Craig,

Wow, that looks pretty solid. It's really beautiful! You have the perfect niche.

Great to see you're busy doing what you enjoy doing the most.

Well done!

Have a wonderful week.

I think the niche online could be self-supporting. We will be offline as well.
Kind of interesting what can be done in this niche with a little creative thought.

Great niche and great little building! You should be able to build lots of cool stuff in there. Good on ya -- and you are right. We, too, are building here, and learning to use all these new and interesting tools. Yes, wishing us all success.

Thanks, Fran
I'm looking forward to developing this niche and the associated site and of course, the product lines.

Your man cave.

Yes, this is a serious man cave. I will be sharing it with my partner though. She is almost as excited about it as am I.

Good evening my friend, all I can is wow incredible you have indeed create a wonderful thing. I guess when you put your mind to something you will see it through, congratulations. By the way good to see you and may you have a successful week.

I'm waiting for the rain to stop. Once it does, I'll be pulling wire to the building through my 150-foot ditch in the yard. If I can get this done and inspected this week I'll be a happy camper. Oh, and get the trench filled and seeded.

Outstanding bloody will outstanding my friend

Hi Craig,

There are a lot of advantages for joining this WA community. And your comparison is one of them. An example of thinking outside the box.

Wishing you the best with both.

There are niches everywhere you look, I just happen to have a passion for wood. It's hard to build wood projects online but, there's no reason the products can't be promoted online.

I came with the idea of making wood figurines like mini houses, humans and animals. You might of thought of this idea anyway. May God with you my friend.

Hmmm, sounds like an interesting concept.

I'm so happy for you :) Finding your niche is one thing, but being able to actually delve into it and create products of your own is the ultimate!! I know this is going to be huge for you. May success keep coming your way :)

I expect that this will become a life-changing experience. Thanks.

very good comparison

Thanks, I am always looking at ways to compare the online and offline worlds.
