Kite flyer, kite maker.
I've been flying multi-line, controllable sport kites for over half of my life. I attend kite festivals very frequently and occasionally travel throughout the US or internationally for kite festivals.
About 6 years ago, I started building my own sport kites. Now days, I have a workshop with 5 sewing machines, 2 3d printers, and other equipment, all of it revolving around kite making.
I can't really imagine my life without kites involved.
Neat! With a workshop like that is it your job too or does it remain hobby/side pursuit.
I know a few people who have setup workspace for fishing and fishing related thing (lures, rods, etc) but still do it on the side.
It's still a side pursuit. I have a full time job as a software engineer. I do sell the kites I make on occasion, but I have no intention of making it a proper source of income.
