Aluminium picture frames are always in demand and are fairly simple to churn out
How do I get in on this swim? I need more income streams

Go round and make friends with the picture framers. They supply the galleries etc. Take a sample.
Then they can do all the fitting, glass and other faff. You just do the metal
I did some for a bit, but it can be fairly repetitive.
Nice mitres and filed perfectly flat/square. Frames and aluminium painting panels too.If you don't mind cutting glass and making subframes, loads of artists prefer aluminium frames. But I wouldn't want to be handling paper/canvas artworks to be honest, it raises insurance costs too. Haha.

I only hear good things about them, and great customer service. My friend just bought one and I'd consider one too if my expensive one ever broke.
I would also definitely consider going for the AC/DC version for aluminium, you won't regret it and aluminium isn't harder to weld. Otherwise you'll find people asking you to do it in a few months time and won't have the kit.

If you can go for 180amps or more it'll be worth it, especially for aluminium where it needs the extra punch because it conducts alot away to begin with.
Otherwise 160 covers most bits and bobs in steel.
You won't look back, loads of work out there for TIG welders it seems 👊
