That's like trying to open a store and you don't have a building. Just my .02
    To fill my time, make a little money to put into my savings ,and I like dismantling stuff. I like to make a night of it in the shop dismantling things and stripping wire while blasting music. Its cathartic . I dont really like tearing down stuff that is very hard to do. I am more used to dismantling smaller stuff. Stuff that just requires screwdrivers, wrenches .... at most a hammer, chisel & hacksaw. I DO have access to some powertools, but I'm afraid I am going to hurt myself with them. I am just not used to using them all that much. Drill and a bench grinder/wire wheel are the only pwertools I am comfortable with.

    Like I said... I have a ton of free time on my hands & this is just a thing I do for enjoyment for the most part. I dont really need the money from it. I make a living wage (little that it is) and I am incredibly frugal (I dont like spending money). Same thing with my metal detecting hobby. I dont do it to make money.
