In college I made a little extra scratch repairing sew-ups for the locals.
$5 each to patch and re-sew.
I could do it while watching TV in the dark, almost without looking. Had dried 3m weatherstrip adhesive all over my hands for a year.
I made almost as much money repairing sew-ups than I did working at the shop or building up racing wheels.
Polishing the races on campy and dura ace hubs paid pretty gud tho, $10 each and all it took was 15 minutes each a dab of crest toothpaste, and some Phil wood waterproof grease.
Is there still such thing as phil wood grease? that was the hot ticket back when I was yer age.
now GOML.
