Renee I am like you in that I only really build for family, for me I do woodworking as a hobby, I am sure that people on here can help point you in the right direction.  

some suggestions you could try, are to

• Advertise in your local paper,
• Print out some flyers and distribute around your area,
• Set up a stall at craft markets, 
• You could even try gallery's that sell custom furniture pieces, 

I am sure that once you start building things for people they will spread the word also. 

Sorry I couldn't be much help,

Thanks Al!  He loved his train table and it was pretty easy to build.  Can you give me any suggestions on how to market my furniture items I make.  Right now I mainly build for family.  I have a order for a friend of my daughters for a mirror-jewelry cabinet .  I'm just not sure how to get started.  I love woodworking and would like to turn it into someday soon a full time job.
