I've been doing soapcarving and just recently started some woodworking. I made this little guy, I'm thinking of staining him green after i finish him up more. I'll post updates when I do all that.
Early in the process:

He had a pipe, but I wasn't happy with how it sat. I'm going to make another one to glue in his hand up by his face.

Ask Ythan to add those to the store. You can get a cut in each one sold.

I can't really mass produce them, i wish I could, but at college I have no where to do this, and thats where I'll be for most of my time until summer. I could do these in summer though, especially if I just didn't get a job and made things out of wood all day. I could definitely live with that.

I'd suggest using this hobby as a way to relax instead of getting bombed. I don't think it's a substitute for even a summer job. It'll lose it's allure very quickly if you don't have something that makes sitting around carving seem fun by comparison.

I have an immeasurable amount of fun doing this. Its like the feeling you get when you finish a good book, x1000. I don't need a lot of money that much, and when i work i normally end up smoking a lot more weed so I spend so much money. With this I could potentially bank a decent amount, this gnome only took 4-5 hours so far at most, and if I did a series of them I could do portions of them at the same time to speed up the process. I'm not arguing that I'd make the same money as I'd get from a summer job, but I could probably do pretty damn near the same.

Just varnished him today, changed the face up a bit too. His pipe is made of maple. He's pissed that no one is giving him a fucking lighter.

nice!
reminds me of this little guy i made from sculpey a couple months ago. he was originally designed as an incense burner, blowing smoke out his mouth and hookah, and he works temporarily (third pic), but he fills up with smoke faster than it can escape and it puts the incense out. i'm going to have to drill holes in it or something to get it to work properly.

It took me about 5 hours all told. My dad has a friend who does really big stuff, and he inspired me to go out and buy a rotary tool and some bits (diamond tipped ones for details are easily the most important to have after a basic cutting bit).
I didn't do any reading or anything, but I've carved soap before and I draw/paint, ect so this was pretty easy to snap in to. If you want to get into something like this go out and buy a cheap 8 pack of soap and get a small knife or a cheap set of hand tools from a craft store (there are some really shitty sets to be had for ~10 bucks, but these are sharp enough for soap)
From there just carve what comes to mind, don't worry if it sucks, just don't try to hard and work up your spatial skills until you get better. When you get high, replace your time doing something worthless with this and you'll be great at it in no time.
