So I’m considering selling my plans on line now. I’ve been asked for them several times. However, being the over-achiever perfectionist I am, I want to do it really well. Not just an exploded drawing with some measurements, but actual directions on what to make first, tricks for doing it right, and so on. I want the experience to be so good, the customer will come back.

It’s also worth pointing out that the time I put into a plan, which would be considerable, would generate residual sales for years. Compare that to building one clock, for instance, then selling it, building another, selling that one, and so on. Instead, I build once, sell many times, like authors or recording artists. I like that.
