What should I make?

Hello everyone, I’m a high schooler looking so make some side cash by making things out of metal. I’ve always loved metal work and welding. I was just looking for input on what sort of simple projects I could do outside of school and work. Currently I have a stick welder, and a grinder so nothing fancy please. Just some basic projects to sell that I can use the money to get more tools and more toys. Thanks for any input!!

Do you use a real piece of wood for the seat? And if so how do you attach it/ preserve it
