    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.

    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

    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
