I want to say tools, a garage and a lot of passion. If you have that, you can start building things for yourself, tell some people about what you do, and, well, profit. But I bet it takes a lot of time to grow and have a shop big enough to keep in the business.

its like every buisness... you need costumers! Everybody can stock a warehouse, but selling it is the hard part.... and today i guess yon really need organizational skills.. you need to know what and when you can deliver and how muct to charge.... and lastly you need costumers!
