A woman who quit her job to become a full-time carpenter has shared her top tips on turning a side hustle into a viable career path.
Danielle Clair from West Derby started carrying out DIY carpentry during lockdown in 2020 and sold her first dining table for £120 using Facebook in October that year. Using a £7.99 palm sander she'd bought from B&M, Danielle tried to turn two scaffolding boards into a table, but it fell apart.
After watching countless YouTube and Instagram videos, she persevered, and her second attempt was a success. Danielle shared a photo of the table on Facebook, which gained a lot of attention and she was soon asked to make one for a friend.
