Got a non vehicle hobby? Like knitting?

[pflaming]

I know a member who carves totem poles? What is your hobby? 

[HotRodTractor]

I've been known to scribble on some paper. This selection of subjects are still vehicle related though.

 

 

 

[Todd B]

Wow. Impressive 

[MackTheFinger]

I play guitar some and repair and build tube guitar amps occasionally, mostly in the winter months. Mostly I like rebuilding motorcycles but that's more obsession than hobby. So nope, no hobbies.

I might dabble in the working of wood.

I dig up volunteer mimosa, pecan and burr oak trees around the place, pot them for 3 years, then plant in strategic locations for myself or my neighbors, also gift them to friends and neighbors with planting and care  support...so I reckon there's almost 200 more trees around TX than there was 15 years ago thanks to my green thumb...the trees are nice to look at, but around these parts, they really become valuable when they begin to produce shade

I want to buy a nice cabinet saw - but I struggle with where I would set it up at and leave it. Perhaps some day.

I'm a Civil War artillery reenactor. I used to portray do cavalry until I broke my back. No more riding horses.  You can't see me very well in the second picture thru the muzzle flash, just my butternut trousers and checkered shirt. Im the one in the checkered shirt firing the mountain howitzer. In case anyone is wondering ,yes there was a Civil War battle that happened in Arizona or what was back then known as the New Mexico Territory . The Battle of Picacho Pass. It was the western most battle of the Civil war and it happened about midway between Tucson and Phoenix a little east of what is now I -10 . PS,  yes its hot wearing a pair of wool trousers and dark blue wool sack coat in the summer

I'm going to guess there was once a Saguaro amongst the smaller cactus left in front of the cannon...

Used to do HO model railroad, but not since we moved into this house.  Enjoyed weathering equipment buildings etc to make the looked authentically used.

After moving, not a lot of time to get setup but slowly working on it.

I am in the process of trimming trees and bushes in the backyard. I have a city dump on the edge of town where I can haul it all for free. This is what I am setting back and when I am at the dump, I usually bring another branch or two home with me   ?

Here is a photo of my new rocking chair will be sitting on the back porch .... if I see a neighbor pulling out a stump, I will be over looking for free curly twisted roots to make table legs out of.

Just need to get the stuff off the ground and drying so will be ready to work with sooner then later.

And the dogs will quit dragging it all over the back yard

I used to carve duck decoys.  Both decorative and functional.

Gunsmithing.

 

Here a Ruger blackhawk fitted with an 1860 colt tiffany grip including converting the colt trigger guard from flat to coil springs.  The brass was a porus casting so not suitable for plating, but lends a look of age to the entire project.

 

And a vaquero fitted with a brass insert front sight, 1860 colt trigger guard and back strap, and colt one piece walnut grip including all the spring conversion, satin rust blue and faux case colors, also lending the look of well cared for yet old..

Sometimes I put on a toque and perform outside during winter in Canada.
