I'm curious about how well you homegrown gadget-builders do. I have
quite a few ideas of my own sitting on the shelf, and have never been
able to get anyone to tell me how well their business actually does. I
don't want actual numbers, but basically there are three possible
ranges: 1. If I counted the effort I put in on these, I'm losing
money. 2. I'm breaking even or making a reasonable profit, not enough
to quit my day job but still worth it. 3. This is going so well that I
quit my day job and am concentrating on expanding my product line.

I just need to know what kind of a market is out there, I have no idea
how many people own soldering irons and are interested in building kits.
