It seems to me that China is done being our manufacturing hub. What are products that can be manufactured in a home shop, at a modest scale, to fill this hole?
Assuming a $10k investment $20k $50k $100k?

I would consider finding a niche manufacturing business, the kind that is for sale because "my kids don't want it".

I used to do business with a guy whose whole business was drilling deep tight tolerance bores on aero/space hardware. He made good money, had more work than he could handle and didn't have to leave his house. His kids didn't want the business, even though he had already made a few million.

This is what I’m looking for. Any suggestions on how to find it?

Start shopping for businesses, consider advertising. I bet advertising in industrial shop areas would work.

There are so many niche businesses that we can't even imagine exist. I'm sure you could buy one and spend time with the owner learning before they retire.

Buying someone out would be more expensive, but you'd still be getting a lot for your money.
