OK.....One of the things I had in mind when I started cabbing and wire wrapping was gifts for friends and family......but another thought has been lingering in my mind.......maybe I can sell a few....maybe even enough to pay for my rocks and wire.......
My question is this... do you (anyone who reads this) sell your cabs/ wraps ?......or is this purely a hobby for you..............?.......just wondering....................

The short version- I sell my wraps. I do it to support my habit. My single father son moved back home with 2 of my grandkids, so my hobby had to become self supporting. It's tough to sell online, but I'm able to support my habit and then some.  |

Same here, I sell for supporting the hobby, it supports itself and then some fro me as well. Aside from that, I frame buildings for a living and I'm also retired Navy. Every little bit counts!!

I do as well. I know Randy is on Etsy, and so am I. It's a nice and easy place to set up shop, although it'll be up to you to get traffic there!
I started as a business, but honestly, my 'real' job takes all my energy, and I've realized this year it really is a hobby, although I make more than is allowed as a 'hobby', I just make sure I report it as income on my taxes.
My intention was to get it started to be a business when I retire in 7 1/2 more years and then can give it my full energy.
At any rate, I encourage you to go for it!
