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?

Textiles. You can get a decent 4 shaft floor loom used for about a grand and a good new spinning wheel for about the same price. Once you get up and running the basic process is a bit time consuming (though not as much as you might think) but pretty simple.

More decorative Textiles can be made even more cheaply but often require more time investment/technique. Bobbin lace only requires bobbins (maybe a buck a pop) plus thread and pins/needles. But I don't think you can make anything wearable.

You can also look online for a local spinner/weavers guild.
