Trying to decide how to best use this website. I have no earth shattering plan other than it will be another activity diary of what I do and make under the KautzCraft banner.
I am retired from profitable activity of a real occupation. I am now a break-even hobbyist. Trying not to spend too much on all my avocations.
Three dimensional printing with thermo and light sensitive plastics is my current activity. Generally called, “3D printing.”
I have many other websites that cover all my hobbies. At some point I will have links to those.
I am thinking there will new sections within this website where I can keep my various interests separate.
Creating websites is also one of my avocation playgrounds. That’s why I already have too many. I don’t make them for fame or fortune. Although I have run a few web-store sites. One when I was making wax cast silver jewelry.
The best web-store was when I was a dealer for Taig Tools, maker of miniature metal working machine tools such as milling machines and lathes. I also sold Proxon tools. It was a good hobby business and I made some profit. I ran it for over five years, but it became more effort than I desired. So I shut down the store.
When everyone is selling a standard made product, Internet sales becomes just a price war. What moves product is low price. Low price, unless one has a very large volume or sales, is not a good business plan.
It was like working for far below minimum wage. Just for the fun of it. Soon (five years) the fun gets very thin. Such is life.
Come back again and see how things change. Maybe a real sign-up!
