I've read scattered threads about people's hobbies and I thought I'd start one thread where we can all list our interests for easy reference. That way, when one of us has a question about something, we can look here to find out who knows something about the subject. (Well, that's the idea anyway.) So whether you are into modeling, fishing, collecting figurines, wood carving, music playing, sculpting, arranging, or outdoor sports, post up you interests here.

Pics of recent works or auisitions are encouraged. This is meant to be wide open, so even if your hobby is a business, let's hear about it. I think we can all count S2ki and the S2000 community as a hobby, so let's just assume that one.

I'm happy to start this out. As most of you know, my hobby is classic/antique sports cars. This includes following the market and restoring the actual vehicles. I also love boating and fishing. While I love my S2000, I don't spend a lot of time on it other than driving it to events.

 

Hobby-Cars & my boys

 

Children as hobbies? Well, I guess I did say this was wide open.

 

I work massive hours, any time I have free, I try to spend with my boys having fun

 

Grandchildren, S2KI keep me entertained. In good weather I enjoy working in the garden/yard with Rick. I like to read too.

I have absolutely no creative talents, such as drawing, painting, sewing, decorating....it's a shame.

 

Alex, you boys are simply adorable. I'm sure you have a lot of fun spending time with them.

I have too many interests to list them all, but I'll attempt to list a few: anecdotal short story writing (occasionally), oil and acrylic painting, handbuilt pottery, cooking, READING, crochet (not often due to hand pain), embroidery, sewing (again not often due to hand pain), family genealogy research, studying various Native American art and lifestyles, learning about alternative healing and wellness methods and I guess that pretty much sums it up and explains why my house is never neat and tidy anymore.

 

While I haven't had time to work on it in ages, my favorite hobby is stained glass. I've been doing that for 35 years and love the colors and textures of the glass. I'd like to say gardening, but I haven't had much time for that either so the yard/beds look like Fido's a$$. And then there are the home remodeling projects that we enjoy up to the point that they become work instead of hobby.

 

In no particular order, reading (non fiction), working on/mod'ing the car, and playing with A/V equipment. Although, I'm more interested in the audio than the video.

To relax, I assemble and paint 54mm historical miniatures, some might call them toy soldiers. They stand about 2.5 inches tall. Here are a couple recent examples. My favorite period is 18th and 19th Century AMerican subjuects.
The first is a depiction of Sitting Bull, the second is a generic Crow and the third is a grouping of three Woodland Indian figures by the same sculptor.
