What do you guys do outside of here?

Sailing, but let's wait a few more months, it's a bit nippy right now.

 

[RobDownSouth]

As for me, I collect comic books.

I recently bit-torrented Silver age Fantastic Four comics, circa 1966-1967, and basically relived my childhood in a single night.

As far as hobbies go, I do public speaking at Toastmasters. I work the stage all night long.

I make beer though I haven't in about a year. Trying wine with my dad. No screaming success yet. I think you gave me one of your mead recipes but I dont remember what thread. I should track it down.



What do you make them out of? Ive never tried to make a rod. Ive been making crawler harnesses though for this springs walleye season. my wife has good luck using them for smallies too

I make them out of all sorts of stuff, depending on who it's for, I use shot gun shells, actual shells, guitar picks and on and on. I do use a lot of cork, fiberglass, sometimes I will buy already made blanks. I have a shit ton of thread, leather and a really awesome seamstress.

My former girlfriend is a bake-a-holic. Rarely ate anything she made, but loved to bake. She claimed it was her form of stress-relief!

I am the same way. I never eat any of it. But I love to make it.

Thats cool as hell. I've never thought to make my own rod. I'm seeing bamboo rods in stores now. I wonder if they're a kit or finished rod.

I cant bake to save my life outside of breads. No room for error. I can cook anything I put my mind to though.

On behalf of those who love to eat homemade baked goods but don't care to bake it themselves, I thank you both!

The kits are worth it. They're fun and you can feel just as satisfied that you made your own.

 

[Wife of Bath]

I'm domestic as shit. I sew, crochet, embroider, bake, cook, craft...

I love to whittle, but all my tools are packed away so I haven't made anything in a long time.

I always wanted to learn to whittle. IS it hard?

Simple things are not hard, but it definitely requires lots of patience. And the tools are very sharp, so you have to be pretty careful. Mostly I make spoons.

With decorative handles?

With decorative handles?

Sometimes. I actually focus the most on the bowl of the spoon- getting it just right. It's a therapeutic habit.

Is the market going up on those yet? I got most of mine back in 05-06 before the market fell out

I stopped collecting soon after Batman/Bane story line 28 -29 long boxes full of stuff. Last I looked there is no market left in them. I did pretty good on a few odd ball things over the years but it sucks now sitting on these and the kids have no interest.


My hobby is Geocaching. Been doing it since 2006. Started as a way to get out with my boys and connect while having a good time. Now it's just me going out by myself.

I had to Google it, but that sounds like a cool hobby.

I always wanted to make holiday decorations for my house and gifts.

Depending on where you are in wonderland, we have some of the highest concentrations of hides around the north east side of Detroit. Keeps me busy outside and not planted in front of the idiot box. (And no, I don't mean the computer)

Im not good with wood but I do most of my own auto work and am now starting to work with metal. If the pipe stuff takes off I'll start restoring other things.

 

[Lilylovex64]

I make candles and soaps occasionally. I can also sew so I made throw pillows for my bed and living room. Pinterest has a lot of good ideas for different hobbies to pick up, but it is quite addicting.

 

[neecygirl]

A lot of crafting, knitting, cross stitch, beading, occasional new random hobbies (looking into calligraphy right now), photography, occasionally writing. Lots of reading.

 

[Libsam]

reenact the civil war.

I like to make all kinds of crafty stuff, but I love to paint. Here is a piece of yard art I made last year, I think you will like it remy. Added some scrap wood slats for the perfect amount of stripes!
