becoming a cabinet maker

[Dangermouse]

So after all the media hype we find that the spider is as dangerous as a bee sting. :---)

In other words it can kill you if you have an allergic reaction ... just like a bee sting.

Given the numbers of children with allergies it's potentially as dangerous as peanuts.

What now, for sale signs with "WARNING - This house may contain spiders" on it.


According to the Natural History Museum, false widow spider

The bite of the false widow spider can be medically significant in humans, but usually without any long-lasting effects.

Uh? have I missed something here? All of the previous posts have been about starting a cabinet making business and suddenly it changes to spiders?? I think we have crossed posts here! :?

+1 for what n0legs said, start small, build up a portfolio, yes maybe give some stuff away as Jacob says, (visibility and presence) and build up a customer base,even a few 'clients' if you're lucky...
sometimes it's necessity that is the driver, in MickCheeses' case, is it not bigger and tougher hammers to keep them creepycrawlies at bay ?? (hammer)
speaking of creepycrawlies, anyone's workshop had one of these little visitors?

also +1 for cashflow, I think that's the main reason business will fail in the first year..

The words "Creepycrawlies" and "workshop" in the same sentence. Not crossed posts just a bit scope creep.

They come in shipping containers once in a blue moon, some times they survive the poison bags (or whatever they use now) that are used.

Saw a few one summer when I was a teenager working in a container yard, funnel webs as well - scary looking buggers when they pop out their holes/webs - they never survived the winter though.

See a gecko once as well, think somebody took it home.

Fun times.
