I think it's a wonderful idea. Not just because "there will be something for DH to do" line of thinking, but I believe that people would be attracted to your shop because of the times we now live in.
Lots of folks now appreciate the "simpler times" and wish we could bring some of that back. Quilting, sewing, hunting, fishing, gardening and cooking were everyday ways. Sadly that way of life is gone and these skills are now considered hobbies.
So give it a go. Brilliant idea!
