A hobby that makes money

Can a favorite hobby become a way of earnings, or should it only be a holiday, an outlet from the order of boring office everyday life? At this point there are two opinions formulated FORUMHOUSE users.

Here it is:

Krysun (User FORUMHOUSE):

If you turn your hobby into a job, it will already work. I am currently unemployed and temporarily repaired the apartment. Plaster for me, too, was a hobby. Now the bags with mixtures and spatulas can not watch! Sick!

And just the opposite:

Puma7007 (FORUMHOUSE User):

Why work should be tolerated and should be a hobby only for the vent and the rest of the work routine? Strive to make a favorite hobby favorite work - a very worthy desire! Better to do and regret than to regret all my life undone!

Perhaps the optimistic statement Puma7007 closer to our portal philosophy. Make money with what you love, what gives you great pleasure, of course, it is better, even if it is not the main your job. One of the most compelling stories that confirm this thesis - history FORUMHOUSE Member

Professional. His hobby - like many here, the construction of houses - it became a profession.

Wooden houses - love of a lifetime

Professional (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I managed to turn his hobby, construction of wooden houses in operation. And in work that is not tired and still brings not only financial but also moral satisfaction.

As a child, the future Professional I lived in an old wooden house, the former manor mansion, and often stayed with his grandmother in a wooden house with the real Russian oven. He already liked the wooden houses, as well as after the army acquaintances engaged in felling fellings, called earn a journeyman, a member of our portal has agreed.

Professional:

He is a master features and sawing legs, I cut out a triangle grooves. Because then all log-go with these slots. About a month so studied. As the worker received one third.

In a familiar and would not dream of teaching Professionala something other than sawing grooves, but he liked to drink, and even this novice master made his advantage.

Professional:

He is under the angle log bed, and I draw and cut paws. In general, a couple of months I have already had a worker who sawed grooves of a triangle, and I sawed the cup.

With all this and went. Further Professional «the firm chopped log cabins Gonna Do roofs ", then there was a foreman and five log-chopping, receiving orders through an intermediary. Once the mediator large led brigade, squandering money for prepayment.

Professional:

I'm in front of his team clap eyes and explain why they are home to the families have to go without money. At work, I hired them, therefore, to pay them I have.

from agent Professional I left, simultaneously capturing several orders, because at that time communicated with many customers directly. He is now engaged mainly organizational activities. Favorite work makes him happy.

Professional:

That's when the stop, passing by beautiful, unusual wooden houses, to stop and look at them, mouth open, stop all logs with wooden houses buy, because I am in awe of such homes - that's when I decide that it is necessary to tie me with this business and take on the other, to which at the moment the soul lie will be.

I must say that many users Forumhouse, self-built their homesRealized that this thing for them - the most beloved in life, and that they want to do professionally. Typically, these statements cause criticism of the professionals, but the people who are moving in the direction of the dream, then it is usually not regret.

Cam move in the same direction. For the independent design mastered SketchUp. In June begins the first "friendly" construction. Not gods pots!

"Glory to the brave"! Good luck and success - that's what I want to say to such people.

Artificial stone products - for example grandfather

Member FORUMHOUSE Alexbrok He enjoys making beautiful things from wood and artificial stone. For him, this is not the main way of earning - it works at the office, but this hobby brings significant income.

Like many hobbies Alexbrok from childhood:

Alexbrok (User FORUMHOUSE):

My grandfather in his free time engaged in manufacturing various articles and I explained and showed how and what.

Craft has proved difficult, after the death of his grandfather Alexbrok he threw himself wondering how it all turns out right now.

Early last year, Alex We asked to make a gift to "the person who has everything", and he took up backgammon sheet rock.

The idea to make backgammon wood was rejected after a careful study of the Internet - nothing interesting was not found even at professional forums. Master decided that backgammon will do sheet rock Samsung Staron two colors - dark and light. In stores material cost inhumanly expensive, but in Russia there were vendors selling it at a reasonable price. Design comes up with this: "provided that doing backgammon itself." Product Size: 60x14x60, weight - 13-14 kg.

The main highlight of gift - homemade mechanism that eliminates the need to throw Zerika. On both sides of backgammon fitted cases for chips.

In addition to material on the money provided by the customer on the present production, it was bought the necessary tools:

• Fraser Bosch POF 1200 AE firms.
• Jigsaw Makita 4329K (X1).
• Dremel drill with a huge suitcase with attachments included.
• Engraver firm Dexter.
• Optional accessories for tools, cutters, saws, drills, etc.

In the manufacture of the product together with the purchase of the instrument he left last month. Customer backgammon cost of 80 000 rubles.

After manufacturing backgammon left quite a lot of material, and Alexbrok I made him a candle and chess, value, respectively, 25,000 and 55,000, ready to give.

It seems Alexbrok He not just remembered his grandfather with a kind word.

NOnono__13 (FORUMHOUSE User):

I was most impressed that all of these products produced a very young man, twenty-five years of age. A true master. And still very young.

Material for its wood products Alexbrok takes in urban woodwork - are the remnants of oak, cedar, beech and other species.

"It sucked and it was my bread"

KuznetsOF I worked all my life with the metal, was a miller and welder, and then became interested in blacksmithing, so that sucked member of our portal, which was his "bread". Now he and his friends have a forge, where the order is made at a reasonable price, including the cool stuff here.

KuznetsOF He says everything for blacksmith's workshop needs a minimum of: furnace, anvil, "the hammer more" and boundless imagination. And even this minimum is not necessary:

KuznetsOF (User FORUMHOUSE):

Instead of the hearth than once heated oxygen cylinder (though expensive it turns out).

How equipped blacksmith shop, we can see in the pictures below:

Besides the main toolHere represented hammers of various shapes and sizes: some parts cut away and others are refined and shperaki, which is inserted into the anvil - with the help of their small part of the future product formed into the desired shape, which is assures KuznetsOFNot too difficult.

Flowers and leaves, which are decorated with a variety of forged products, sold in specialty stores, but if I want to "warm up by the hearth in the cold winter evening," then ...

KuznetsOF:

Take the metal sheet 3.2 mm thick is cut form (chisel cutter, grinder, scissors, jigsaws) and the ejection is done here these textures.

Master talks about it as a pastime, but he knocks his anvil every veins of the leaves, flower petals bends, making a metallic thread on the kind of fragile and helpless. And what is more, craft or talent, did not even say.

Part in the stylish plant pots

All of the above stories - about the fascination that nothing would have cost without the talent and hard work. But history knows FORUMHOUSE many other cases in which you can earn a hobby, not possessing unique knowledge and skills.

Thus, the user of our portal Alexander Ave I began by saying that made of plasterboard stylish pots for houseplants.

Products were donated by his wife, sister and mother, and highly appreciated by the target audience. Another pots were put on sale on the Internet for 2000 rubles. The buyer was found a week later.

Alexander Ave (User FORUMHOUSE):

So I plan for jobs.

Here the technology of production of pots.

1. Brewed frame products.

2. Cut and fasten the details of the drywall.

3. Two layers applied putty polished. At the bottom of pots attached plywood plate is installed inside.

4. Remaining paint product and to finish it in polyethylene (the material attached stapler).

Flowers - a good increase in the budget

Participant of our portal Tytta five years cultivated the flower seedlings only for himself, but always the seedlings get too much and had to give away the surplus. Over time, she realized that she learned how to grow seedlings just wonderful that it is possible to sell for money.

Tytta (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

The idea to make money on his hobby came with the knowledge that I already have it is enough experience and knowledge.

The first season was somehow uncomfortable for rastyuhi take money after so many years it gave away. And it was terrible, it would not work. Had experience and range of products, and for its quality, it seems that the price of some not so. Had to sit on a special forum on the Internet, he studied literature and parallel - to forecast customer demand.

The first season brought a surprising and not very pleasant discoveries: half of the seedlings was unsold. It was found that: viola, dahlias and marigolds erect demand practically do not use, but what was sown enough - verbena, salvia and bell - fly away like hot cakes. Petunia bought all at a high price - but here it is that Tytta It offers a rather rare and unusual varieties of this plant.

tytta:

In general, at the end of the season came at zero, which is very good for the first time.

The second season, taking into account the findings, was much more successful, and on the eve of the third season of the participant our portal wants to prepare a greenhouse (size 8x3) to move there with the plants in early Martha.

Now she was sure - before you start to make a hobby, it is necessary that it was really a hobby. When doing some business solely out of love for him and, as they say, for the soul, it is still studying it, you understand its pros and cons and you can assess which require investments.

And by the way, the users of our portal manage to earn on growing plants, even without a greenhouse.

AltaVista (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

We even at a window in a basin onion harvest collected 20 thousand rubles for the winter (at prices in 2012- approx. ed). The main thing is to find a market.

Men needlework

It began with the fact that last year he saw here on Forumhouse, people sew for themselves from various skin products, from belts to portfolios, and for some reason decided to try myself in this matter. At first he did for his belt.

I have suffered: wallets, cases, etc. for yourself and loved ones, and friends.

Most importantly, this activity brings Maxim not only money, but also fun. The patterns on the product - it is laser engraving. Sewn products are not on the machine and by hand.

So, as we see, even in our difficult from an economic point of view, time to cash in on a hobby can be. And oddly enough, the main thing is that this thing really ignited you liked, deprived of rest. A skill, professionalism - will make.
