I think wood-working.  Make furniture that is useful.\nThe other is auto mechanics.

ebay should have some sticks on there, thats where i got mune , although personally i'd go down the hardware store, get some aliminum pipe (hollow solid wold be too heavy and dangerouse) and make you'r own. this would give you the perfect size and width stick for you, it wont crack or smash like graphite and its way cheap!

city/local ordinances stating what sort of businesses can operate in the building/area you want to open your shop.  also, you may need licenses - fire marshall, safety inspector, etc.  you also need to fill out tax forms with the state.  my suggestion would be calling both state and local governments and ask tham what steps you need to take as a lot of it depends on where you live.

You will have to come up with a really unique differant idea, because a manual lathe is the same as labor intensive, and computer control (CNC) machines today can make a part in seconds compared to what you can do in hours,  I wish you all the luck and maybe you can come up with something. The machine you have is better for some kind of small repair work,  where someone needs a small part right now..but that isn't steady work..

lumber is very lucrative.  if you have good forestation, consider contacting a lumber yard for harvesting some of the wood.  they do all the work, and you get the check.  get a couple offers and make sure to mark off what trees can go, and which will stay.

What kind of areas are u looking for?\nProduction control uses computers to keep track of inventory.\nQuality uses a CMM computer to check parts to make sure they are capable\nPrints are made with computers \nOffice staff use computers for invoicing, paying supplier, etc. \nCertain types of machinery used in factories require a computer to run them.\ni.e. Robotic welders

well - if you want to do this, you should know what you need... going into something that you know nothing about is a "VERY" risky venture .  try asking local taylors what they use, then scale it up a bit.  start small - but remember selling to europe & the states you'll have problems with quality demanded & competition from  the far east..  think hard before you do this.

A drill press for one, maybe a lathe, and many others depending on what they machine.

Well, it seems there are several pathways.  One that would seem to be prerequisite is learning all the wood shop stuff you can get in high school and any junior college that has such things.  Secondly, I suppose it depends on whether you have, or can set up, a wood shop at home.  If you can, then making things out of reproduction pattern books would be one way to get started.  Dover Publications has a whole lot of books with usable scale model drawings to make reproductions of old furniture.  That would be an education in itself.  There are plenty of specialty publications in how-to fields that include furniture.  I think I have seen some that included incredibly artistic objects that no doubt sold for impressive prices.\n\nThe art and craft fairs is another way, particularly if you can make some smallish things you can carry in a reasonably small trailer or truck from place to place.  You could probably make enough selling over the summer and manufacturing over the winter to support yourself rather well if you have talent.  They don't need to we wildly original, but they do need to be extremely well made and durable.  Someone who pays a fair price for hand-made furniture expects it to be handed down from generation to generation.\n\nOf course, if you live in an apartment and there's no hope of setting up your own shop anytime soon, the best way to learn would be to find an apprenticeship.  My recommendation there would be to go visit some of the more successful furniture makers in your area, and discuss the possibility of apprenticeship.  At first, you may get no more than doing chores for him for room and board, no salary.  But if you persist, and show you can learn, you will learn by doing from a master craftsman, and there's no better way to learn.
