A blacksmith-gunsmith told how he started making money on his hobby (Video)
An income-generating hobby is considered the best job. This is the opinion of many people who manage to make money on their own hobby. Recently, an enthusiast named Andrei thinks so.
A man who worked for a long time as a thermist in the machine-building industry decided to start making knives several years ago. His elder brother instilled in him an interest in this matter. Now, about 5-10 knives come out of the workshop, which is located right in Andrey's garage, in a few months.
The man started with the simplest models that he could find on the Internet. The production guide was also provided by videos from the network. Andrey's first knife is a steel blade with a birch bark handle.
More daring experiments followed. The man began to draw his own sketches and try to translate them into reality. At first, these were knives with a small amount of decor from the simplest materials. This was followed by carving and even finishing.
The gunsmith set up a business based on a hobby in about six months. The first customers came to him from the Internet. Thanks to social networks, where Andrei posted videos with ready-made knives and the procedure for making them, things went very quickly.
