==one idea==
It may be a nice for you to hold occasional educational sessions. You could turn your hydraulics, modular design, welding, etc. classes into a sort of boot camp people would pay to attend. Many years ago I went to a really great 3 week production workshop in Madrid that included talks, discussion groups and hands-on development - that might be a good model if want to do that sort of thing. But I'd say this is not a priority for you now, unless you really want the revenue.
