Hobbies and Stuff
 

Little tid-bits of this has appeared in a variety of threads.

Here's a chance to try and organize them.

I'll start. Thursday, April 22- MAIL CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3696 pieces! And look at that box!

That's the bottom... Here's the top of the box. Pretty!

Cindy decided that she needed a little break from some her scrapbooking and is a big Harry Potter fan. So this came Tuesday. 6020 pieces!!! It's the 3rd largest set they've ever sold.

I'm guessing I'll need around 30 hours including prep time - figuring the warmer weather will mean less large blocks of time and more 'hour here, hour there' sessions. Probably 3 weeks at most. I'm going to go on a limb and say Cindy will be done around Labor Day.

For some odd reason I like wrenching on old Hondas as a hobby. It is cheaper than a psychiatrist.

Cindy gets into the Lego creations as well?
Hobbies?
Rick likes to grow things from seed and garden. He also likes clean cars. That's a time consuming hobby.
I've been known to take a few pictures.

Nice. There's the bird thread, photo thread too. Not trying to diminish those. But Dave's paintings show up in random spots and other things too. Things like that.

I don't think Cindy has done any Lego before. Huge endeavor for her.

I cracked the box open. 620 pages across 2 manuals. 1084 steps. Here's the kicker... Those 6 boxes are numbered, and, the manuals go box by box. So no sorting 3700 pieces to get everything out. Just open one box at a time and work through it.

Then I got nothing! :LOL: NO patience for Lego or Models or sewing, no crafty talent....and certainly no talent for painting.

Carry on!!

I just planted a single seedless red flame grape vine. In the prior house I had a 1/3 acre vineyard. I hope I can keep one plant alive now. Can't call it a hobby though.

But you have the "eye"!

Once you build it, what do you do? Do you display it or dismantle it?

I tend to display, but these are big - so now that I have 2 and a 3rd being worked on - I need to solve this problem soon. I have quite a bit of things already on display.

^Looks Great! You might have to rotate various items for display. I find dust is another challenge too. You might have to find a nice acrylic case for your builds.
