Creative way to find work. Carpenter puts *ADVICE FOR NICKLE* booth at Farmer's Market. Gives advice

and meets prospective customers.

CNN had a short mention of a carpenter who'd been laid off twice in last few years so went to work for himself. Business now is slow.

So he went to a local Farmers Market and set up a booth like Lucy in Peanuts. Advice for a nickel.

People can ask questions about projects they've got. He can give advice and also possibly score a job.

He gives the nickels to a local food pantry.
