I grew up gunsmithing with my Dad. We were self taught. The problem is that you ahve to deal with people. It'd be great if you could do just "the fun stuff" as you put it, but you can't just do that. What you're going to be doing is putting together other people messes, searching for non-existent parts and making a $40.00 part for a 10.00 gun, all while hearing about how you're charging too much and taking too long. I enjoy working on guns, I hate working for people. Whatever happens to the gun after you've worked on it the first time is your fault, doesn't matter if Joe Sixpack drops it out of a tree and down a cliff into salt water and leaves it in his pickup for 6 months, it's your fault. And the last minutes, "gotta have it" repairs will drive you nuts- guys that had a trip to an expensive lodge someplace planned out a year in advance will suddenly remember they never got the mag fixed or that the stock is cracked the night before they're scheduled to leave. Or some guy with a race gun will decide he needs new sights at 4:30PM the night before the regional competition...on your anniversary or kids birthday where you're all due to go out for supper or something. Plus, all those guys want it done for what amounts to free!
Dealing with the Feds is bad enough, dealing with people simply stinks.
