I'm afraid we would need a little more detail than that to answer your question... it is a little like asking "how long is a piece of string?" - you can't put an estimate on when you will make your first sale as a craftsperson.

Tell us about your plans...

Hi there and welcome to the forum. You will find lots of people willing to help, but we need more info to do that.

Like Wood Tattoos I would have to say that is a bit like "how long is a piece of string". What eactly are you making and where are you planning to sell?
In any case to the forum from a jewellery maker.

It will depend on when you are planning on starting to sell your items for a start and how (www, craft fairs, shops, markets etc) and also whether you get your target customers to see your stock or not. Obviously you need to have the stock first, so it will also be a bit dependant on how quickly you make your products.

You will know when you can afford to pay yourself a wage, i.e. when you are making enough to cover your overheads. Whats left, in theory, is yours and the Tax Mans.
