How to Start a Home Wood Working Business

Starting a Home Wood Working Business is just the thing for those who love working with wood as a hobby. The quality and design of hand crafted wood is prized the world over. Furniture, toys, boxes and the like are used everyday. There is a definite market for Woodworking Business Opportunities.

Many products of woodworking are marketable today. Everything from shipping crates to armoires are made from wood products. There is also an emerging market for hand made wooden toys. If you posses skill and talent, you can make money in the wood working business opportunities field.

Things you will need to start a woodworking business are fairly simple. You will need to know your state and local requirements for opening a business in the woodworking business opportunities field. More importantly, you will need to know what types of items you want to produce. This will have a definitive bearing on the supplies and tools you will need to have on hand. Also think about joining a trade organization associated with woodworking. This can help guide you in advertising your work as well as shows and events to help showcase your finer pieces.

You will need a good supplier of various woods and wood handling tools. Though you should never use sub-standard materials, quality is especially imperative for toys, furniture, and other practical items that your clients will be using daily. A long lasting product will get you plenty of referrals.

Once you have established a relationship with a supplier for your Home Wood Working Business, you will need to consider your area and what your advertising should be. There are several ways in which you can market your products. Having a web site to direct clients to for a glimpse of your products is a fantastic way to get your name out there and to showcase your work. People who shop online will be quick to refer you if they have a pleasant experience and are happy with the outcome of the purchase.

There are also more traditional means of sales in the Home Wood Working Business Opportunities field. Trade shows, flea markets, arts and crafts fairs, malls and small outlet stores are all resources that need to be investigated. Marketing your custom designs to furniture stores and specialty stores is a great way to start your home wood working business rolling. Make sure you do not over-book your business, however. You will need to consistently maintain your level of quality throughout the sales process.

Advertising your home wood working business on the Internet, local bulletin boards, trade magazines and the like will help you establish a reputation and make your name known. Going to arts and crafts shows, trade shows and flea markets will aid in showcasing your work and increase your sales. All of these opportunities should be taken advantage of as often as possible in order to increase your profile and resume'. Entering contests in the woodworking trade will also help with referrals and increasing sales.

Don't limit your imagination. Many clients may ask for custom work. Be sure when handling custom orders that the direction of the project is clear. There are design copyrights to be considered also. If a client has a copyrighted design that he would like for you to build, be mindful of that. However, you can also copyright your own designs. This could lead to increased revenues in your Home Wood Working Business.

Fashion and home decor trends are on your side in this industry too. Beautifully crafted wooden bowls and home accessories are always popular. If you are interested in doing these types of small jobs, keep in mind that they are relatively inexpensive to ship and make great online products.

There is also the artistic side of the woodworking business opportunities field. Sculptures, frames, and other art objects can be sold as well as furniture. Your only limit in woodworking is your imagination and your bravery to try new things.

Woodworking can be a fun and lucrative career. The woodworker has the ability to create as not only a practical tradesman, but as an artist as well. If you have dabbled in woodworking, think of it now as a career.

Woodworking can be a fulfilling and successful endeavor.

Christians Drinking Alcohol? What Scripture Has To Say

Tea-totaling Texans? Them's fightin' words!

I live in a small Texas town which is probably not all that different
from a small town anywhere else. At one time, as the town was growing,
much was being reported by the local media and debated at city council
meetings regarding liquor licensing. Whenever these types of issues are
discussed, some self-appointed Christian representatives will speak up,
supposedly on behalf of all the rest of us, and heatedly expound upon the
awful vice of drinking alcohol and what a demon-magnet that can be.

I recently said to a young lady who told me her church didn't allow
her to go anywhere where drinking took place, "You'd better leave
the state of Texas...and stop attending professional baseball games
while you're at it." I may as well have said, "Mother Teresa, you'd
better leave Calcutta! There are lepers all over the place!" If the light
of the world (you and me, according to Jesus) leaves the darkness, the
darkness remains dark. My question to Christians everywhere,
whenever we're confronted with a "sinful" act or attitude that we don't
appreciate, is this: "When is the right time for casting that stone?"

THE TRUTH HURTS. KNOWING IT WILL SET US FREE

Several years ago, a downcast young lady approached me at my secular
job, asking if I'd officiate her wedding. It seems that she and her mate -
apparently her husband - let it leak that they'd never had a traditional
wedding and had been cohabitating for about 2 years. They had a nice
home, all debts were combined, and they held good jobs. In their eyes,
they were married and moving along as a couple, facing the business
of life. One night, the couple received a surprise visit from their church
leaders, were reprimanded and told they should stop "shacking up."

Now, before we go any further, I'm not condoning that couples should
live with each other outside of wedlock, nor am I condemning those
who do. It is NOT recommended because, statistically, those who DO
live together before marriage have a much higher incidence of divorce
(let's forget the fact that 50% of all Christian marriages are ending in
divorce anyway AND that, in anonymous surveys, nearly 50% of
Christians admit to having had premarital sex).

Question for these church leaders: Before we point another accusing
finger at a Christian couple, can we talk about YOUR sins? Doubt,
unbelief, overeating, rage, criticism, gossip, plus the fact that nearly
half of all ministers surveyed admit to viewing porn regularly not to
mention substance abuses and adultery...all are equal in the eyes of
God and required the sending of His only begotten Son to become
our Savior.

Incidentally, I agreed to take this couple through 6 weeks of pre-marital
counseling and officiated their lovely wedding. Later, they had a baby
together. They have since moved on to become part of a different
congregation. That was 4 years ago and they're doing great.

You see, we can cast stones at those who drink alcohol - or those who
do anything else that "WE" might consider to be wrong - all we want to.
Who will be brow-beating us as we stuff our chubby cheeks? Who will
judge us using the same measure with which they are judged themselves?

The standard is Jesus, friends. Not the unholy trinity of Me, Myself and I.

WHAT THE GOOD BOOK SAYS

I contend that we should funnel everything through Scripture, preferably,
through the teachings of Christ, allowing the many verses on a
particular subject to define the one proof text, instead of requiring the
one proof text to trump the many. Personally, I can't help but believe
that all the oats, hops, barley and other grains used to produce alcohol
could be put to better use feeding the hungry of planet earth. I wish it
were. Maybe that will take place on the day that all swords will be
beaten into plow sheers.

Speaking of beatings, when we focus upon wine, the fruit of the vine
takes a severe thrashing itself within Christian circles, everyone trying
to justify their viewpoint. In the Old Testament, God's Law allowed
yayin (wine) and shekar (strong drink) to be purchased with the Tithe
of Rejoicing and to be drunk before the Lord. "You shall spend that
money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or
strong drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before
the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household,"
(Deut. 14:26).

In the New Testament, all recorded prohibitions to drinking wine seem
to refer to either (A) immoderate consumption or (B) to abusers: "Be not
drunk with wine" (Eph. 5:18). "Do not be with heavy drinkers"
(Prov. 23:20). "Do not be addicted to wine" (I Tim. 3:8; Tit.2:3).
"Do not linger long over wine" (Prov. 23:30).

Some say, "But we love the sinners and hate the sin." Sadly, even when
this is true, it doesn't come across that way and, after all, perception is
reality. Besides, where is it written that drinking is a sin? Now, I
haven't had a beer since I was 19 when I drank six straight after working
at a construction site in El Paso. That doesn't make me any better than
anybody else; my convictions are just that: mine.

Wine? My Italian family sipped it often but never to excess and its been
about 10 years since I had a glass of Chianti with my spaghetti. Still, I
don't expect my convictions to be anyone else's. When I'm sick, I don't
care if the Apostle Paul DID instruct Timothy (1 Tim 5:23) to, "Stop
drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and
your frequent illnesses."

Sorry, Paul, but I'll take Pepto-Bismal, thank you. That's my choice.

Seriously, when all is said and done, I can't help but feel that we
Christians must distinguish the use of these beverages from their abuse.
Sometimes in Scripture, gluttonous eating is paralleled with immoderate
drinking of wine (Deut. 21:20; Prov. 23:21). But we can find nowhere
in the Bible where eating food is prohibited, thank you, Jesus!

At other times in Scripture, sexual perversion is paralleled with
drunkenness (Rom 13:13; I Pet 4:3). Yet, if ALL sexual activity were
condemned, well...you and I wouldn't be here.

Wealth often becomes a snare to many as well (I Tim. 6:9-11), but the
Scriptures do not make a blanket decree against its pursuit (Job 42:10-17).
Let's see a Word of Faith evangelist preach AGAINST the acquisition of
money! That will be a cold day on Padre island. Bottom line is that each of
these factors in life is intended by God to be a blessing for us, when used
according to the ways that HE intended.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER: JESUS WOULD DRINK TO THAT!

To the surprise of many, it would seem abundantly clear that the
Scriptures DO allow for the moderate partaking of alcoholic beverages -
wine, beer, bourbon or whiskey. By the way, I've had many friends in
ministry who hail from England and Germany. I love watching my
American Christian friends as they "get their knickers in a twist" when
these awesome European Christians visit the states and order a brew
with their Tex-Mex or wine with their poultry. The Scriptures pull no
punches in commending wine, nor do they reflect any embarrassment
when illustrating stories that involve its consumption in Biblical days.
Wine is set before the saints as blessing and gladness (Deut 14:26;
Ps.104:14-15), even though it may be, to the immoderate and wicked,
a mocker and curse (Prov. 20:1; 23:29). It would seem to me that all
the self-righteous finger-pointing we engage ourselves in today does
very little in the way of making the non-Christian jealous for what we
say we've found in Christ, the One who turned the water into wine, His
first miracle. Despite all the sincerity of well-meaning Christians
regarding this issue, every time we point a finger, there are four more
pointed right back at us. These fingers are those of the Spirit in operation -
the Spirit of the Pharisees.

The Great Commission, set forth by the Greatest Teacher, Jesus Christ,
was to go and make disciples. As followers of Christ, are we teaching
those who are watching us to condemn and even detest those who are

not like us, or are we teaching them to love everybody without condition,
planting all the seeds of grace necessary to make our faith attractive
enough so that they will want run to Jesus at their own proper moment
of harvest?

After all, He loves ALL of us, despite the deplorable things we harbor
deep within the dark recesses of our hearts.

In fact, He loved us to DEATH!

Every blessing!

Around the World in 100 Words - Five Language Apps for the Business Traveler

If you're a business traveler and a frequent flyer to international destinations, you understand that English can take you many places, but it can't always get the job done. Learning a few phrases in the languages of your foreign business associates can make your experience in their country more pleasant and score you extra credit points.

Too busy to read a foreign-language phrase book or attend a language class before your next trip? Language-learning apps are your solution. Compact and mobile par excellence, these highly engaging applications can accompany you in your travels and help you bolster your language skills at your leisure.

Let's take a look at five free mobile apps that you can combine to acquire foreign language skills on the road and on the fly:

1. Byki

Quick, essential phrases in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Taglog are at your fingertips with this app. Rather than delving into extensive vocabulary, Byki is strong in teaching everyday greetings across several languages, with the multiple-destination traveler in mind. In three easy steps, you can master everyday cordialities that will take you across Europe and Asia.

The first step involves reviewing the flash cards, which come with images and native speaker audio. In the second step, you see the target language and come up with the English translation. When you've got the gist of the vocabulary, the third step is to translate from English into the foreign language.

Byki has also compiled a database of vocabulary around key themes such as beverages. Want to know how to order a beer in every country you visit? This is the app for you.

2. Busuu

Where Byki offers breadth, Busuu provides depth. Available in Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, French and German, Busuu has a similar interface to Rosetta Stone in terms of exercises and format. Native speaker sound, illustrations, colorful flashcards, dialogues and audiovisual quizzes make for an engaging and active learning experience. Students are rewarded with Busuu berries at the end of each level.

Another great feature is that Busuu allows you to review your mistakes. You can acquire vocabulary pertaining to a variety of themes, including work, sports, days of the week, body parts, telling time, dates and seasons, family members, numbers, colors, meals, directions, pets, geography, clothes, fruits, vegetables and more.

3. Vocabology

This vocabulary-boosting app is designed for the daily language apprentice. It allows you to get a word-of-the-day in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, French and English from a variety of sources. Because repetition is often the secret to retention, Vocabology uses the word of the day in multiple contexts, including an addictive quiz.

4. Flashcards Deluxe

One of the best ways to commit all of this vocabulary to memory is to review it throughout the day. This app allows you to create your own deck of flashcards with words you come across in your studies and to import decks from the shared library. You can personalize the backgrounds of the cards, add photos and sounds from your smartphone or from the app's website, modify font size and colors, set up a slideshow and flag cards for more intensive review.

As you go through your cards, you signal your responses as either correct, incorrect or "strong correct" (meaning no need for further review). The program then schedules the cards in spaced repetition as a function of these responses so that you don't under-study certain words and over-study the ones you have mastered. Using the Leitner card order option, you can also focus solely on the cards you've gotten wrong recently. Spend ten minutes with this app every morning when you wake up and/or at night when you go to bed for optimum retention.

5. Radio/Newspaper apps

As your familiarity with the language increases, you can begin to immerse yourself in the culture of your travel destination by listening to the national radio stations and reading local press articles. If you are traveling to Spain, for example, download the RNE app, Radio Nacional de España to listen to any of the six national radio stations, andEl Paisto enrich your vocabulary while reading up on trending topics, current affairs and popular culture. Unlike mobile sites, these radio-streaming and content apps are perfectly adapted to your particular smartphone platform and therefore supply an optimized interface. You don't have to sort through several web pages to get where you want - in one click, you can stream the radio station of your choice, as effortlessly as if you were flipping channels on the highway in Spain. And in one click, you can read news articles in a format carefully tailored to your smartphone screen.

The rapidity of speech may be intimidating at first but if you undertake this exercise regularly, you'll soon be amazed to find yourself deciphering fragments of conversations and recognizing the vocabulary words you have acquired.

There are hundreds of other interesting language apps out there but with these five alone, you can build a comprehensive and personalized program for foreign language acquisition. So how much time do you need to devote to this in order to see any tangible results?

Remember that we are not talking about fluency here (though multilingualism is a fantastic goal), but rather elementary communication in the context of international business. One school of thought makes the argument that you can get by in a foreign country with a lexicon of 100 words. With 100 words at your disposal, you are able to comprehend some of what is said around you, express your essential needs and ask basic questions. A pocketbook vocabulary of 100 words will allow you to order wine for your table at a company lunch, ask when your clothes will be dry-cleaned, inquire as to the best cup of coffee near your hotel and get directions to a local pharmacy.

And if you're armed with 100 words, you're less likely to be taken advantage of by that taxi driver who mistakes you for a novice and opts for the extra-long route to the hotel. Your ability to communicate in the local language, albeit on a rudimentary level, will place you in a different category of tourists or business travelers, one that is treated with more respect. You will also derive more satisfaction from mundane tasks like checking out of your hotel, since everyday interactions such as these become opportunities to practice your newfound vocabulary in context.

So next time you're on the road-lugging around your suitcase, smoothing the wrinkles out of your suit, and struggling to get some shuteye - explore these apps for hours of distraction (even relaxation!) and acquire new language skills in the process. We're sure that doing so will broaden your horizons and deepen your appreciation of the cultures with which you do business.

Acclaro is a global translation and localization firm that helps the world's leading brands succeed across cultures. Acclaro offers a full range of services for creating and maintaining multilingual marketing campaigns, websites, documents, software and much more.
