What do you guys do for extra cash on the side?

[Core]

In addition to your primary career/occupation? There's a lot of different sorts of people on here, I'm curious. I've got a pretty decent job, but I'm not supposed to work more than 40 hours per week unless absolutely needed which sucks. Keep the g4p comments to yourself please

Teach guns, make guns.

That said, I've never charged for my time on training, only passed through the cost of the class materials (usually heavily subsidized anyway from the NRA) and the last few rifles that I built for others I only charged for the parts, not my time. So it's really no more than a hobby right now.

Given the state of the world with Obama, I am pretty sure that I could be building rifles until the day that I die if I wanted that career.

That sounds cool. Could you send me one to Eu? (it's not that easy to get one here) Part by part, noone will understand shit. Will pay in BTC.

Nice work.

Those shorts, wrist straps and wood paneling are all key components to correct execution of that movement.

Thank you. For the only real reply itt so far. .. let's hear some more!

I do online fitness coaching and work with a supplement companies doing demos for them.
Brings in a few hundred bucks a month on top of my primary career. Can't complain.
If it wasn't for tuition I'm not sure I'd be doing the online coaching, that shit gets boring real fast.

How'd you get into that.

[WannaBePro]

How'd you get into that.

Into which? The coaching or working with a supp company?

I assume you mean the supp company. In 2012 I was prepping to do my first (and, so far, only) natty bodybuilding show. I trained in the same gym as a guy who was pretty high up in a supplement company here in Toronto. We kinda started training together, he'd spot me, I'd spot him, etc... and once I started getting closer and closer to the show, he asked if I wanted to come and work their booth at the Toronto Pro. I, of course, jumped at the chance.
They seemed to like me, and asked if I'd be willing to do more demos for them. About a year later I lost contact with the guy (who, I later found out, had some disagreement with management and they went their separate ways). Then about a year ago I heard from them again, asking if I'd like to come back and resume doing demos for them. I agreed, so I've been at it for just over a year now. I'll be working the Toronto Pro booth again this year, as I did last year.

Lord no. I wish that I had a real machine shop and a (swoon) CNC machine. By "build", I mean "assemble". I pick out the best parts and assemble it into a working gun. Almost all are AR patten rifles now.

$.  My $.02, CNC is the shit for production when you need to do 1000 parts but manual is fine for turned and milled project work.  On the other hand, I'm not a computer guy, so possibly biased against software in the workshop.

Everyone loves CNC these days, which means old school is cheap.  You might be pleasantly surprised how little you can pick up decent handwheel machines for.

Here's a damn clever dude and his shop fabbed boring fixture:

Why, gay 4 pay of course.

Just occurred to me that a good barrel, whether tungsten cut or ground, is probably finish lapped from a master of whatever caliber.

Clearly, I'd like to get into fabrication.  Also really keen on joinery and furniture making.  Unfortunately, spare time's kinda rare.
