What is Your Other Hobby?
 

What else distracts you?

Personally, I took up brewing beer in February, have done a handful of batches, beer gets a little better each time. The picture is the mash process of a dry irish stout, I currently do all grain brewing using the BIAB (Brew in a bag) method. This allows you to mash, and boil in the same pot.

My wife and I love to camp... okay, we love to glamp, we often take our canoe.
Trailer is 23ft with one slide out, lots of room inside. THe canoe was made here in Cambridge Ontario in the 70's, it is a Coleman Craft. The way I understand it is that Old Mr. Coleman could not afford the litigation brought on by the "Coleman" company, and he packed it in many years ago. This canoe is the nicest I have ever paddled, I really should buff the oxidization off and make it look pretty again.

Speaking of my wife she has said a few times that she would like a hobby, but can't think of anything to do... Trust me, for her, shopping is a hobby, an expensive one at that:waah:

So anyway, what is or are your "Other Hobby(s)"?

Edit:
The canoe rack, I made this from aluminum extrusion profile, which I sell. It comes apart into 3 pieces and tucks away not taking up much space at all when not in use.

As a family we go RVing (I don't call it camping either) I enjoy bowling and mountain biking aside from cars.

I'm into old Pontiacs and do a little woodworking:

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

I’m into rebuilding this old thing.

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

I collect, rebuild, and hoard old tube amps and guitars.

I also collect WW2 era military firearms, and am slowly working on a '65 Bel Air and '56 Mercury Phaeton.

Here's a S&W Combat Masterpiece I saved back to original

This rifle was locked in a leaky car trunk for two years & was rusted shut- with a round in the chamber & a full magazine! It turned out nice. I call her "Cream Puff"

This rifle is an H&R Self Ejector .22 that was burnt in a house fire

This is a full size Russian .22 Training Rifle patterned after the 91/30 Nagant. Believe it or not someone had made a LAMP outta this! Restored to it's former Godless Commie Glory!

Heck yea, I'd love to do something like that if it were just the wife and I. Add a few kids in the deal and I need more space. pulling an old camper with my truck would be a dream.

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Cool table, cool old camper, I actually play a little guitar, just an old acoustic, neat stories, looking forward to hearing what everyone else does when they aren't working on their old trucks...

I do autocross, or at least used to until I got busier building vehicles.

Previous vehicle, Lotus Super 7 replica, built from scratch, not a kit :

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

You inspired me!

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

I dabble in a bit of bowling, also do mountain and road biking. I'm giving up motorcycles for now.

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

I do love bowling.

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Have been building a 420cc powered trike. I also collect anything made of gold. Oh, and tattoos!

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

I restore vintage tools

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Take the kids too! Make simple memories with them they will hold dear forever!!

There are bigger vintage campers than mine, mine will sleep 4 plus a little bit as well.

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Pontiacs, Hearses, Glamping & Boating. Yeah, I know I'm a little strange but why be normal?

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Normal is boring, and pretty close to no fun at all...

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Oh we do. We are taking a 2 week trip to the Grand Canyon in the RV I posted earlier this summer. We are all really excited for it.

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Might need to talk to you about parts for my drill press.

Re: What is Your Other Hobby?
 

Less see, shooting, motorcycles, radio control boats and tanks, the sign work and decals and the most important one 2 grand daughters.

This thread is depressing, I’m a workaholic. Do stressing and drinking gallons of coffee count? I used to hike and mountain bike.
