Strange that this topic has come up....
Mostly I build things for myself. I make a lot of boxes and generally give those away as presents. This year I've been thinking I might try to sell some stuff and take an order or two. Woodworking is most definitely a fantastic hobby but it is also very expensive. I don't want to think how money I have spent just on tools in the last two years.
While I agree that turning my hobby into a "profit center" would quickly make it not fun. I do think if I want to make this affordable it's worth it to sell a piece or two here and there.
For those that currently sell your work either at crafts or arts fairs, do you still enjoy what you do? Is this a secondary income hobby or is the primary way in which you earn your living?
