What a great way to generate some good will. Maybe start quoting prices for fixes after you punctuate your post.

I do repairs as a hobby myself, but mostly on tractors and such. My father and older brother has a rather violent farming style, so i have plenty of work to keep me busy. It makes me feel useful, so i dont mind.

It all depends on whether or not you feel like you should be doing something else. I for one never show anyone my abilities with computers. I play dumb, and no one ever asks me to fix their junk. It's nice.

Wait for the world economy to crash plunging us all into a second Dark Age, then advertise your skills to the local War Lord and you may make some money.

Chris, do as I do. Small jobs are free, mid-sized ones cost a case of suds, big jobs (like rebuild my engine) cost just less then commercial price. You make some money on head gaskets and they get the "i have a helpful friend" feeling when you fix their busted tail lights.

There are few things worse than being exploited when you are simply trying to be friendly. I know I'm being exploited when the "help" doesn't go both ways.
