Buggy shop is one of the most profitable Amish workshops. 10-15 buggies/year × $6,000 = $60,000-90,000 turnover.
Family
Father — master. Eldest son — assistant (learning). Younger ones — apprentices (carry, hand tools, paint). By 25, eldest son opens his own shop.
Repair
Besides new buggies — repairs. Wheel broke, spring cracked, body split. 30-50 repairs/year × $200-500 = $10,000-25,000. Repair is steady income. New buggies — seasonal.
