I know a fellow locally that sharpens everything. Giant bandsaw blades for sawmills, industrial food processing machines, etc. Everything is cash (he even has a couple drunks helping out he pays cash). Clears $2-$3K a week, lives in a nice, paid for house. No bank accounts, although his wife has one that's fat. Only downside is retirement, no SS or 401K. Hasn't paid taxes in his life and nobody bothers him. Something to be said for living "off the grid." Joe
