Some people value "hand made" things, so there will be some market.
I would use machines to help me make those "hand made" things faster. Seriously, even with laws, some use of machines would be allowed; I just need to find a way to use it to maximize my total productivity. For example, even if the product must be done by my own hands, is it OK if a machine guides my hands, provided that the machine parts will not touch the product? I could watch some movie while the machine moves my hands to do the work.
Perhaps I don't even have to be in the room... either cut my hands off and replace them with superior prosthetics, or clone additional hands, and attach them to the machine while I take a nap.
In that case I would clone all my body (except the brain), put it in the other room and put a webcam there, so my clients will have real-time proof that I am not cheating.
After some more thinking... perhaps it would be easier to generate a false webcam output. :-D
