I need r3v opinions and critique

[ohthejosh]

Basically I would like to supplement my income. Not to make me a millionaire or anything but basically put a few bucks in my pocket here and there.

I have a resource that would allow me to make custom metal work, specifically keychains.

I would love your thoughts on this and ideas on possible designs;

I figured the basic keychains that would say;

e30
S5x'd
2.7i


I know it's hard to help without pics and stuff but I just wanted to see if people are will to purchase such things. I have other ideas floating around but id like to start with keychains.

Just a young man tryna make some extra moolah :)

I will be making a meeting with my metal shop to see what costs are and then maybe do a mock up and provie a ball park price sometime next week.

Honestly, my real thought is do something to advance yourself so you can make the money you want working only 40 hours a week.

Currently I have a stable career and it is paying my bills although its not what I actually want to be doing and not what I am going to school for.

I work in the IT field and although its good and dandy and provides me with what I need and pretty much that's all it provides. I would like to find another source of income (not looking for a strike it rich type deal just extra cash to put into the car and whatnot) in a field that I would much rather be doing. Business with a pinch of art involved. I feel this would help me accomplish my future goal of entrepreneurship. So in a sense this something that would advance myself so I can make the money I want working 40hrs a week. ;)

goddammit, I clicked on that and needed task manager to make it go away.

no cool kids found.

OP, I understand exactly what you want to accomplish, and applaud your efforts.
I think E30 specific key chains are probably going to be a VERY small market for you, expand your scope, and try to apeal to a larger demographic, say Car enthusiasts, instead of just e30 enthusiasts. not saying "Don't do e30 stuff" just saying don't ONLY do e30 stuff.

I do car work on the side to pay off my parts bill at work.

I also just got a lift and work space at home.

I am still broke.

Totally understand :) Im most familiar with the e30 scene at the moment since I spend almost everyday checking this site. Thought this would be the best testing grounds for how to create these custom pieces. R3v is my guinea pig hehe.

I was thinking of making tiny m20, m30 etc valve cover keychains and euro grill + smilies keychain.

Well I am going to try this out and see what the response would be :)

How much time are you going to spend on that vs, doing front brakes or control arms for random can't wrench da bimmer person? I can't see you making more than $10 each profit after material and shipping, your net profit IS your rate of pay and it looks ~$10-15hr if your proficient.
It makes more sense to wrench on the side and litter your house with multiple vehicles like the chz does.


Now if you have access to a CNC that's different..................

This is what I do. Straight cash, plus I work in parts so I get a discount I pass on to friends/family as long as I'm doing the work.
