MelissaTheGuitarist asked:


Hey everyone, my name’s Melissa, I’m 18 years old.
In my final two years of high school I built a custom electric guitar and amplifier, it was during that time that I knew building guitars was what I wanted to do with my life. I graduated last year, and I am beginning to take the first steps towards my guitar building career. Basically, I’ve just found a job (just working at a retail store) so that I can use the money to buy all the necessary tools to set up a workshop in my garage, buy some materials, and just practice building different guitars in whatever spare time that I have. When I have perfected my guitars and start selling them and earning a bit of money I will cut off the hours of the job I have now and eventually build the guitars full-time. That is my plan.
Do you think that would be a good way to get into the business? Is there any specific/crucial tools or materials I should buy?
Any particular construction tips? Even just general tips on starting a business.
Just anything that would help would be great! :D.
Thank you.

Stevie xo asked:


My boyfriend of 5 years has just become co-owner of his own buisness. He has worked for his fathers construction company since he was a young teenager on summer vacation and his father has just opened up a new buisness in both of their names. I am very proud and excited for him and would like to get him a thoughtful gift that will be useful to him, tools are out because he already has everything he needs and prefers to buy his own stuff anyway. I was thinking something to play up the buisness owner aspect because he has always sort of felt that trade workers are not given their due respect and is very proud to be running his own company. Any ideas?

Charles S asked:


I’m looking to start my own residential construction clean-up business. I was able to find out that they charge per sq. ft. (around 15 - 25 cents) What I would like to know now, is what category in the yellow pages would I find companies such as these (i’m not having very much luck) What kind of tools and manpower will I need for a typical job, maybe 1,500 sq. ft. Do I demand payment before or after the job is done? Is there any insurance involved?
