Default Advise Needed! Hobby or Business?

I hope some of you guys who are plating in your garages can tell me at what point is it considered a business rather than a hobby? Do I need a business license? Luckily, I work for a plating company and I am very familiar with the processes so I know what I am getting into. I already have anodizing, and polishing set-up in my garage with copper-nickel-chrome coming very soon. I work my normal nine to five job, then work after hours at home. My concern is at what point should I consider a business license or do I even need one, and since I am in a residential area won't I be jeopardizing my mortgage?
