It means that it's pointless to sit aroung and wish for things (usually when someone says If______I would be so happy) The whole saying is 'If ifs and ands were pots and pans there would be no work for tinkers hands'. Tinkers are nomadic people who used to earn money by repairing worn out pots and pans.
