I am currently making a lot of furniture using steel, stainless steel, glass, and mirror. I have some pretty cool pieces, and so many ideas that I don't know where to start.

I do not have the resources to have a storefront, and I do not know how to set up a decent website. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I do a lot of work in really high end homes, and Casinos, and I see so many pieces that are on display. I know that these pieces were purchased from somewhere, and I know that they are sold for a lot of money. I would like to know where these people look when they want to purchase one of a kind functional art, or a custom designed piece of furniture. » read more | 7 comments A little help???
