Zazzy, you'll do fine. You already have the creativity; that's the hard part. The rest is easy. There are people who say, I'll believe it when I see it. The truth is, we see it, when we believe it. Look around - everything you see, was once imagined - a belief.
Cavemen sat around in caves on cold, hard, dirt floors until one imagined a thing that had four legs, was elevated, and could be cushioned with pelts or moss. He fashioned it one day and brought it in the cave. He called it a chair.
The others believed it when they saw it, but had he not believed it before seeing it, they'd all still be sitting around on their asses.
Good quality tools are worth the investment. Look for vintage tools, many will last a lifetime. Check out pawn shops - many people put up tools, when short on money. Garage and estate sales are also a great source of tools. All three can contain real bargains, quality tools at a tenth of retail - and usually better made.
I have a custom designed piece - a combination corner table/end table/3-bottle wine rack design - that I haven't licensed yet - a funky custom design. The flagship piece for Funksional Furniture - a shop adjoining the cafe, which will craft custom furniture, but also hire out to build tiny houses.
Good that you got two tape measures - the old carpenter's sage advice - "Measure twice, cut once."
I've built houses, decks, custom furniture, "turned" wood bowls (on a lathe) - carpentry/woodworking is a great creative outlet, you'll love it, but don't stress over it, enjoy it.
Thanks for the encouragement, advice and the good points/analogies, Ron.
So you've built houses, etc.? Well then maybe I'll see if I can get away with picking your brain on the odd occasion or at least you're welcomed to offer any advice any time.
There's a lot one can do in/with carpentry of course, that's what's great about it and the material, wood, but I'll take a shot at tiny houses, alone, maybe including timberframe. It is imagined that, given increasing poverty, increasing prices with everything, including home-prices and increasing homelessness, the market might be ripe for tiny houses on a dime.
Did you say that you have a friend from Bic/Rimouski and that you had an idea to relocate there?
