I sont have alot of experience but a lot of determination. I have some

Is there something that would be useful I could maufacture in my
garage and sell on ebay or something for money. Mainly as a hobby. I
am no looking to get rich, just some pocket money for the new baby
that is on the way.

My dad just bought a 49 cub tractor at the auction and I am going
through it for him. Alot of people collect these. WOndered If making
tail light brakets or the choke rod would be of any benefit? I dont
have the equipment to do complex shapes and I am not a machinist, I
wish I was. (Maybe an excuse to buy more equipment!) I just love to
work with metal and my day job is in the office so I like to get dirty
during evenings and weekends.

Any advice?

That might work (although I know nothing of the requirements of that
market). You might find that something that would sell through online
communities such as Yahoo groups devoted to XXXX would work better (or
in addition to) eBay. I know people doing this who are making good
(extra, not living-off-of) money making things like replacement parts.
