Tsugaru shamisens. They're pretty much a wooden box with a neck and three strings. Unfortunately, they're very expensive and made almost exclusively in Japan. If you were to offer a shamisen for about $100 at some kind of online store that would be the most awesome thing in the world.

I tried to get into arts and crafts once when I was going through a period of depression/anxiety. It even made me more depressed to realize I had no artistic craft talent whatsoever. *Shrugs* Well, as long as you know what you like, go for it.

Do you know these so-called "volunteers" don't even get paid?

Doll furniture. Seriously.
Take a look at how much this hand made set sold for.

Well, testing out birdcages would be plenty cheep.

If he had some start up seed money it might fit the bill.

I actually used to be the President for my college's Habitat chapter. It's a good time, but I'm looking for something I could do at home.

Hmm...

Build dollhouses instead.

I think to start off with, sticking to Habitat for Raggedy Ann would probably be wiser. Barbie's high maintenance, and Ken works for a law firm.

No,no,no those two already have a 'dream house'!

I'm certain there's more money (and fun) in building "habitats" for a different kind of doll: replicas of the Enterprise bridge for those who collect Star Trek dolls for instance, or 'alien' dioramas for those who want their little plastic-aliens displayed 'professionally' but lack the time/creativity to build them themselves (but have money to burn).
