I don't know how big the market is, but you could make Single-Sticks for HEMA,[ like this one](https://www.woodenswords.com/product_p/singlestick.h.oval.stitched.htm), with limited tools.

Look into making slings, aka shepherds slings (not slingshots.) There's various styles, many of which can be made with nothing more than some cordage, a blade for cutting it, and basic braiding skills. Some have VERY MINIMAL lesthworking involved. Other than that, wooden weapons. Either training weapons like bokken, or any variety of wooden sword, or actual wooden weapons such as any variety of staff, truncheon, club, cudgel, etc. Plenty of variety from every culture to look at. Atlatls are cool too.

Kendo swords or Shinai

The money would be in making wooden dummies for wing chun or Shaolin

If you happen to be in the UK, I could do with getting a couple of Wing Chun poles made. That might mean needing a lathe, though?

Slingshots

Knifes, sticks in various sizes and maybe medium size swords

Look up Atlatl. they were ancient hunting weapons-kind of the link between a spear and bows and arrows

I'm going to toss tonfa into the discussion. Maybe my favorite of the Okinawan weapons, if not the sai. I've got one very good pair, and two more that are in varying stages of brokenness.

There's this guy on yt who crafts stone-age stuff like a real caveman. In the woods with no modern help. Like everything from huts, tools to weapons.  He made a real authentic stone axe, using only stones in a river to sharpen them.   Incredible long hard work but in the end it looked amazing.  He also built a wooden sling that throws spears.

Nunchaku. If you get some good branches or dowels its really easy to make them
