 Cottage industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, eBay is said to have spawned a cottage industry of people who buy surplus merchandise, and sell it on their auction system.
The business operators would travel around, buying raw materials, delivering it to people who would work on them, and then collecting the finished goods to sell, or typically to ship to another market.
Cottage industries were very common in the time when a large proportion of the population was engaged in agriculture, because the farmers (and their families) often had both the time and the desire to earn additional income during the part of the year (Winter) when there was little farming work to do.

They may get into trouble machining reinforced pi (assuming that these materials are available in suitable form); abrasive fillers are notorious for dulling and breaking tools.22 A weapon builder might well believe, however, that a few prematurely worn-out cutting tools would not be too high a price to pay for his life or liberty.
Gun-making could readily become a "cottage industry" in the United States, under any of several possible circumstances: (1) Enactment of a comprehensive handgun ban; (2) Court decisions effectively outlawing the manufacture and sale of handguns under the guise of consumer safety and/or manufacturers' tort liability; (3) Invasion/occupation of the United States by a foreign power.
These manufacturing techniques are hardly appropriate to a "cottage industry" situation.

 Cottage industry: photographing the dreamy, maniacal history of the Czech 'chata' - 15-09-2005 - Radio Prague
According to one analysis made in the early 1980s, she writes, on average people were spending 100 to 120 days a year at their weekend houses - often in very close quarters.
Although spending time at these cottages initially signalled an escape from the collective life of public spaces, says Prague-based sociologist Dr Vanda Thorne, ironically, it gradually developed into yet another mass activity.
So for me it was very interesting how people from very industrial places - where they put their summer houses, and how they actually create them."

Whilst not expecting that kind of sum, she had at least hoped to receive more than a figure which would just about cover the price of a dozen meals in London.
The journalist Asad Yawar has stated: "it is by quite a distance the most inefficient and ineffective commercial sector in the UK," and argued it would even give the notoriously inept public-sector British NHS a run for its money.
The reality is that, outside of the big dozen or so publishers who generate much of their income from publishing books by and about celebrities who have become well-known through other media, book publishing in the UK is in dire straits.
