I am in the process of doing the same thing. I want to do that , refinish antiques, build antique reproductions, repair furniture. Are you doing any advertising at all? I am currently building custom kitchen cabinet doors for a friend.

If you make a quality product your work will do most of the advertising, ie word of mouth. One of the drawbacks of mass produced everything is blandness and lower quality.

There are people out there who would rather spend more on a quality well made piece than save a few pennies on something that won't last or hold it's value.

You are right. It's a well known fact that while mega corporates offer standardized sameness, the number of small businesses providing the unique, the different, the hand made is growing by leaps and bounds.
