About this ebook
The Hoodcraft Home Business Guide has three goals for readers: (1) Learn a new skill, (2) Learn good business practices and habits, and (3) Learn how to find and keep valued customers. The guide is designed to save time and wasted steps while learning basic dining room and kitchen chair upholstery. Secrets like finding "gold" customers, successful business rules and keeping simple business records. Skills learned can be applied to other basic upholstery such as window seats, patio furniture, ottomans, and sofa cushion renewing. Step by step instruction teaches easy methods that can be utilized by moms & dads, military families, retirees and college students.

Acknowledgements
To my wife Nancy for her love, support, and encouragement while writing this business guide. Had it not been for her patience and delicious meals and especially her meatballs and Italian meat sauce passed down from her Polish mother (married to an Italian), I would not have had the stamina to complete this work.
To my children who always knew Dad could fix anything.
To Joe Matthews, who with an editor’s eye, smoothed the rough edges and refined the story.
Finally, I thank my hundreds of loyal customers over the years that have trusted in me and their kind compliments that mean so much to me.
