In the woodworking field, an often overlooked area is stock repair. There are (literally) millions of vet-bringback and surplus rifles that had the stocks cut down years ago but which new owners want restored. There are a fair number of stock makers (those who can take a stock blank and fit it to a rifle or shotgun) but there are few who can repair broken or cut stocks and make them look good. The work is there for someone with the tools (not too expensive) and knowledge to do the job right. I knew one man (now gone, unfortunately) who worked his magic on many guns, including a couple that are in museums billed as totally original and worth tens of thousands of dollars.

P.S. I told the folks on another site how to repair a K.98k stock, and was informed that making a repair that was not obvious was impossible. Hmmm.
