There's a guy in Lunenburg -- not a big city by any means, but gets
lots of tourists and is a UN Heritage site -- who does that.  He also
sells antique furniture in a shop in front of his workshop and does
careful structural repairs on antique furniture as well.  He seems to
be doing well and having fun.  I think it's basically a one-man shop
with some part-time skilled help.
