Sounds great to me. Woodworking is relaxing and there are always people looking for experts in this field. As a tole painter, I suggest when you set up shop to maybe include tole painters in your client base. We are always looking for someone to cut basically simple patterns and sand them for a reasonable price. Good luck with your dream----you will never know if you do not try.
