Hob&Jill 258 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Bet the guys who make catapults make a few quid. Get a lot of cattys out of a sheet of plywood. I know its high quality ply but at £20 odd quid a catty, bet the profit margin is decent. If you know ant woodworking skills im sure you could make a few router jigs that could knock them up very quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MissRhianL 70 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I think there are some ways of making money out of your little allotment but your not gonna see yourself become a millionaire from it, longs if it pays for itself in the long run like the maintenance, feeding etc and a little extra over i think you could possibly do that, like some people have said u could make terrier / ferret boxes, kennels, i know some people grow different plants just to start them off and sell them to fruit and veg shops for them to sell on, eggs you can always sell to neighbours, my friend does make money on his racing pigeons but he has got top class racers so he makes his money from his race winnings, hanging baskets are another way, net making, live traps, you could even go down the route of learning taxidermy like rabbits skins - cure them etc and could either sell them as they are or make tennis balls or larger dummies with the fur, my friends father used to have a rare breed of chickens and sell the fertile eggs on ebay for a good couple of quid i cant remember the name of the breed but he did alright from it. Well what ever you choose to do you should get the kids involved and make them part of it as its always handy now and again to have the spare hands around Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnpop 3 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 That's all I was hopping to do just a bit pocket money now and then to pay for feed and the rent and maybe a bit to put away for holidays. A little savings pot just to add up and forget about. No bother born to run, just really hate my job and get a bit wound up over it. Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnpop 3 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 So there is no set in stone size that I would need to make, just what ever works best? Wasn't sure if there is some kind of regulations about space and size for the welfare of the dogs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnpop 3 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 What sort of prices would you be happy paying. Seen some on ebay a single for 40 quid and a double for 60 is that about right, seems quite expensive to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
