If anybody is out there looking for a income stream here is my sometimes sideline and sometimes full time business. www.ryderhorses.com
I started with no sculpting or painting ability and it just kind of evolved with a lot of sweat equity. I have worked farmers markets and various sales and also have gotten into several galleries. The wire feed welders are about as easy as using a hot glue gun except for more sparks. I personally am spoiled with using a MIG which is a metal inert gas. I small wire comes out when you press the trigger and is shielded by inert gas, the low voltage electricity flows between the wire and the work and melts the wire joining the metal parts together.
I have seen various artisans making really well made stuff and not selling anything so for me to make money I figured out horse people would spend money...So i make all sized of horses. i even got into teaching some one day classes which is also a lot of fun.
