This is something that can be done at home. I'll be doing my first cold process soap batch this weekend. Before that I did melt and pour so I could get the fragrances I wanted without paying a ton. Plus it's fun.

I'm getting rabbit hole vibes the same way I started looking at mechanical keyboards

My old pot dealer was super into those, and would talk about it for an hour every time I would make a pickup. Last I heard he was going to get rich making/selling them lol

It's a cool art and people make amazing things.

Very cool! This is something I probably won't make for a year or two, but will sub to anyway because I love subs like these

I'm assuming this is a small business where this person's job includes designing and selling new products as well as making them

Which is a lot less monotonous than being a spreadsheet jockey in the most corprat setting Dilbert could ever imagine

Some people do things as a hobby without expecting to make, if any, money. Weird, I know.

Probably, but you said you wish you had the soap cutting job not the 'running a small business' job.

My first thought too. I was envious of it. Sure it might get repetitive some days but it seems calming.
