Exactly but I sit here and try and think of things but the harder I think the less I come up with. Now I have though of things but we’re already produced much cheaper than I couple make it for. I know another good category would be camping. I just draw a blank. Must have a kind of “writers block” I guess.

Finding Lathe and Mill Work

Yea, I maybe trying to hard. Thing is how to go about trying to sell thoes things? eBay? Facebook? I seriously considers maying parts for machines like my lathe that can’t be bought anymore but usually there isn’t a real high demand for that kind of stuff. I have had a lot of demand for gunsmithing work but I just can’t do it where I live. I have had people tag my name on FB for people looking for a gunsmith. Thing is I didn’t even know the people who tagged me. Word got around without me doing anything.Sometimes I have my best ideas when I'm totally lost in something unrelated and just allow my mind to drift. I have come up with some of my best ideas while taking a shower.
Seriously?

Facebook is our primary advertising medium. User groups are amazing for getting the word out, and of course we have a website with an online store. https://www.stablecamper.com/
My son also travels to the various camper rallies around the country, tax deductible vacations.

I think that your current landlord will never agree to anything. Time to move to a place where you can do something. There seems to be a never ending demand for gunsmithing. You are already getting request for gunsmithing work. If you have the appropriate licenses, go for it.

Read the Somerset zoning regulations. Home occupations are permitted in R1 zoning. http://www.somersetborough.com/zone/r1.html
Home occupations are rather vaguely defined. http://www.somersetborough.com/zone/page60.html Scroll down the page to find home occupations. Reading between the lines it appears that allowable home occupations include just about anything that does not generate traffic or objectional noise, odors and the like. Home occupations can only be operated by persons living in the home. No outside employees. I did not see anything about gunsmithing in the zoning definitions. It seems that as long as there is no outside visible evidence that a business is being conducted on the property the business should be ok.
Don't know if this helps or not.

Only thing with Xometry is the test parts. Both of them are geared more for cnc. Now i am not saying they cant be done manually bc i looked into becoming a Xometry partner but with my small of machines and the fight to get the good work before everyone else when i have a normal 9-6 job as well? It wasnt worth trying to do the test parts.
