If anyone wants to PM me some ideas or hell even post openly I really need some options. Been a bad year for me and in the spring moving far north. Don't need to make much but if I can make $25k yr or more I would be happy. I have a ton of skills like leatherworking, HD sewing, thinking about learning CNC/laser etching but not even sure how to get business....

See if there is a makerspace in your area. They will have the machines so you can focus on your skill sets.

Not sure how handy you are with a chainsaw or how you feel about heights. But there are lots of tree limbs/trees on people's properties and a lot of people are too old to take care of them themselves. Also gutter cleaning, roof shoveling, general lawn care (think aeration, over seeding, fertilizer etc) aeration can easily be $200+ for a few hours hard work. Some of these might be more difficult to get business for up north, but I'm sure a combination of things could start to build up a group of regular customers

Where do you live? I’ve got a pair of leather fur line Mocs that need to be sewn up. Happy to pay

Not setup till spring, renting till then. Have done similar repairs. Have a sweet sewing machine just for it too

Ah, honestly these could be done by hand, already sewn once but the thread is coming apart after a few years. I just don’t have the skill and want it done right as they are form fitted to my feet now.

Sailmakers are always looking for people who can sew
