Whats your side hustle?

A lot of people work full time jobs but also have a side hustle to support your hobbies, lets talk about some side hustles we all do.

I do data center work on the side like racking up servers and setting up labs, I really love doing cable management on newly deployed blade switches because it takes up so much time! even though they're w9 contracts.

The best side gig I've done is wire up a brand new house with cat6 to each room and common area, hooked up to some cisco poe switches, ran multiple CCTV cameras via cat6, setup for remote access and have all the files stored at a remote location, It was a challenge but it was extremely fun and taught me a lot about fishing wires. I wish the owner of the home didn't cheap out and ran conduit for all the exterior cables, but I have a feeling i'll be back within a year or two to run new cat6 cables for the exterior.
The best part about this was it was paid in cash and bbq.

I also buy and sell car parts which im sure a lot of you guys do.

I work in the residential HVAC industry so I interact with alot of people and my name gets out there. Every once in awhile I get a job installing central air or fixing/service people's furnaces and do that all for cash. On installs I usually profit at least 2-3x what I spend on equipment.

I've got a guitar design I want to make real. Tools are expensive though. A proper planer is like $10,000.

Side hustle would be transport services on my days off. Usually deliver goods or simply become a mobile mechanic since I do carry decent tools on my work van.

you really don't need a large machine planer. if you really needed a machine planer any decent sized bench planer would do the job and can be had used for $100 - $300 depending on brand/size. Or you can do what my uncle did and make one.

most people are using just good old hand planers. there's an older guy down the road from me that builds amazing acoustics with just basic tools. his guitars are way better than any store sold acoustic i've ever laid hands on. evern crazier is he just does it for himself and not profit. i'm not even sure that he's ever sold one of his guitars.

are you wanting to make an acoustic or electric? if electric you may want to check out this guys youtube videos. some good insight on making electric guitars. https://www.youtube.com/user/Crimson...Guitars/videos

of course there are lots of others along the same lines.

two good books i'd advise to get if you're interested in making electrics are ....

Build Your Own Electric Guitar by Martin Oakham
and
Make Your Own Electric Guitar by Melvyn Hiscock

there's so many options for making electrics and so many "how-to's". a quick google search will have you up to your eyeballs with the info that you'll need.
