This barely counts, but I started a small premium handmade custom leather goods brand about 6 months ago: http://vulcancrafting.com. cash/card wallets, notebook/journal wallets, belts, etc... I didn't want to spend all my time after work sitting at a computer.
I'm not in the positive yet; there's an equipment investment cost, I intentionally don't keep a huge order backlog, and I don't charge as much as I could for some stuff. But, it more than pays for the hobby at this point, and I should recoup costs and start turning a profit in a couple months.
