Anybody have a good side hustle?

I powdercoat stuff. Originally was just something to try out for myself but now it's turning into a business. I have done quite a few projects for friends at cost or free just to get more experience, but now I have a couple projects started that will pay fairly decently. If I could get to the point of having enough workload to do 3-4 projects a week I may even make enough at it to go into powdercoating full time and just keep my current day job as my side thing.

Your butthole must get sore as hell.

I have a brother in law that rents those blow up bounce houses for parties and what not.
Its really turning into a bussiness for him. he buys em for a $1k and rents em for $50 an hour os so.
Takes 5 min to setup and 10 to take down. he has like 50 of em now.

I wrench on people's cars at 50$ per book hour. Also do smaller house clean outs and home repairs for people, prices vary per job.

<< bought a sand blaster cabinet for myself.. now i sandblast stuff on the side.
with sand recyling i do it pretty much free.

I have a metal detector and go "walking" alot at schools and play grounds.

i buy real silver from garage/yard sales and scrap it.

i use to rebuild fuel injectors... ALOT..

install head units for people. and speakers.

yard sale/CL stuff for cheap/free and ebay it back off.

When im not working, im usually drinking. Or messing around in my garage/ preferably both.

My wife refinishes furniture.

This :highfive:

It was awesome to read about what all of you are doing out there in the real world! Call me crazy, but I just think it's interesting reading about these kinds of things that set us apart, since we all have mutual interest in a car obviously :lo5l:

For anybody interested in it, the idea for this thread was brought up from an article I read over on the Art of Manliness blog/newsletter. If you've never heard of AoM I would definitely encourage you to do some reading over a few articles that interest you. It's great stuff and you'll (probably) be hooked and want to sign up for the mailing list!

For anybody else interested, a list of some of the side hustles they posted can be found here: 37 Side Hustle Ideas | The Art of Manliness
