I offer Handyman services. So all the little fixit jobs that people either don't know how to do themselves or don't have time to. So far I have waterproofed a roof with fibre tech paint, I have fixed a fireplace and I have refitted a new apartment with different light fittings. I also now have a job to go put up a set of curtain railings. I love the diversity in tasks I can be called out for. Even if some of them are mundane jobs like painting, each job has its own challenges you have to overcome.
I studied mechanical engineering so I have developed a way of being able to assess/learn how things work even if I haven't worked with it before. Plus I have always been the type to take things apart. As you said it's very useful around the house, my mom has had me fixing things for years :P I kind of realised, if I can do these things around my house, maybe others would want me to do it for them too :P
I used to do mechanical drafting, AutoCAD and ProE and I have done quite a bit of handy work myself, such as roofing, building houses and log cabins, building docks and so on and so forth... I love it and sometimes crave the feeling you get from it but I couldn't make a career out of it. Kudos to you. :)
That's awesome, I feel working with our hands is a skill we as people are using less and less. I just really enjoy it. There is a serious sense of achievement when I an step back, look at my work and say "I did that." :) I alwys dreamt of having my own workshop in the garage, this just gives me a reason to fast track buying all the equipment I wanted, even if its not all thing a handyman woukd technically have haha.
I also really enjoy Cad work, considered doing some freelance stuff in that regard but never really got around to it. I've done ProE and SolidWorks though.

right on! sounds like you are very good with your hands and knowing how to fix a variety of issues, that probably comes in handy a lot at home too :)

you should try Blender... there is a tribe dedicated to it and there are a lot of tutorials posted for beginners.
Thanks I have joined the tribe. I will definitely check it out when I have time.
