Default Working from home part time - soldering, loom making etc

Anyone know of agencys or companys that send you out kits to solder up or looms to make then tou return them for inspection and payment?

I need some extra cash to pay for the recent service on the scoob so I thought that using my profession in the comfort of my own home may be a start.

Any help/comments welcomed

Nezz.

If youre a Pro then why not approach some of the motorsport prep companies to make up motorsport spec looms? Plenty of people out there building cars privately and with companies that would benefit from such a service..

A friend of mine assembled PCB's at home in the evenings in much the same way and made **** all despite being a very proficient solderer/assembler for a living. Constant (unwarranted) rejection of assemblies meant he could never turn them round fast enough to make a profit.

Be careful and if possible talk to someone else who works for any company you find offering such work.

i guess you need to get your foot in the door of a company who can shift you work.. maybe go around and approach local places

Are you on about these 'Home Working' ideas - they are mostly scams...as seen by the unexplained rejections of competent work - they actually dont want you make the product - what they want you to do is sign other people up and pay the 'entry fee'

No such thing as a free lunch unfortuantely
