When You Retire
(Continued from Page Two)
told us as he picked up one of his
wooden steeds. It had an exaggera-
ted neck, a quaint, beaming face,
and a mane and tail of leather
thongs. It was painted deep pink
with blue trim on the rockers. “I
give some of them a wood finish,”
he added. “With ga little stain and
varnish you can make a hobby
horse that looks like a piece of fine
furniture.
“People seem to go for that old-
fashioned design,” he went on. “A
woman from New York ordered
four horses last week. She said not
to bother painting or varnishing
them cause she was going to shoot
’em with buckshot and sell ’em for
antiques.
“I use hardwoods like sweet gum,
ash, and maple—mostly odds and
ends I pick up over at the lumber
mill. I take my time and turn out
a quality product. Lots of folks say
my horses are better looking and
better made than any you'll find in
stores nowadays.
“The materials cost about $4 per
horse and I sell ’em for $15. With
this and my pension I do all right.
“The thing I can’t understand,”
he commented reflectively, “is why
more retired people on small in-
comes don’t get out of their rockers
and make things like these hobby
horses. If your product is well made

and a little unusual it will always
sell. And keeping busy in retire-
ment is a lot more fun than sitting
on the porch watching the cars
whiz by.”
