I worked in auto body work for fifty years +/-. Retired at 72! friends said make and sell crafts (Bird houses, knick-nacks, ash trays, etc., at craft shows!)
Hummph! Sold 2 bird houses, nothing else, made $30! Took 10 hours to make a bird house! Decided something wrong with that theory!
Riding around one evening, found an old lawn mower setting amongst the garbage, on garbage night. Took it home, made it run, got $35 for it next day! Next night found 2 more! Fixed both--$60! Getting the idea??
So, that blossomed into repairing mowers, tractors, service work, tune-ups, belt changing, motor work, blade sharpening, etc. I get enough gold to buy gas for my truck, give my dear wife spending money, buy gas for car and truck and motor home, BEER!! and supplies and parts! And have more cash on hand for fripperies, if i want them! somebody asked me how old i am, so i told him--82 in September!
So, go, do it!
