Only 2 pages for a thread that was started more than 10 years ago. Durn.

I like to build furniture and ride motorcycles when I'm not crashing airplanes. I also like to collect and restore antique woodworking tools, specifically hand planes. I've got around 3-4 dozen of them. I pick them up mostly at flea markets and antique stores. I have bought a few premium planes from online retailers too. Stuffed into my huge pile of RC junk are 2 antique Harleys, 1 daily commuter Harley, and 1 Honda. The old girls are mostly for Sunday afternoon out in the County rides and I work on them more than I ride them. Fun but they take up too much space. I am at a point right now where I have 10 flyable planes ready to go whenever I want. So I'm going to stop building for a while and switch to something else. I may build a piece of furniture and I need to paint a new tourpak for one of my bikes. Next year I'll get back to RC building with a giant scale something.

Kind of added a new hobby since I retired and moved to SC. House maintenance.

Reading books and fishing.

Music

and hopefully stocks!

I like making stuff, so I have a bunch of welding equipment, hand and power tools, and an assortment of material on hand. We sold the Harleys and bought a motorhome. I've been a firearms enthusiast most of my life, with an emphasis on handguns and rimfire rifles. I enjoy improving all kinds of stuff, and often end up making parts on my lathe to replace parts that wore out or never fit right. I smile every time I grab the handle on my shower door, because it was loose most of five years - until I spent an hour or so eliminating the soft nylon spacers that were not up to the task. I improved the design and made new parts from a scrap of Delrin rod I had left over from another project. I love to tinker, and will research what's on the market extensively. Often I find the best value is to buy a solution, but sometimes the only way to get what I want is to make it myself.
I also take satisfaction from saving money. I needed a counterweight for my tractor, 6-700 lbs with attachments to hang it off the 3-point hitch. A 55 gallon plastic barrel, a drawbar, some scrap steel, and a dozen sacks of concrete mix later, and it was done. It even has a receiver hitch built/cast in, so I can attach a trailer. Cost me under $100, about a third of the cheapest commercial unit available, and will outlast me.
I also enjoy reading, both books and Internet.

Motorcyclist if I can keep my drivers license.
Scuba wreck, drift, night, cave, and drift diver, thinking of lobster hunting soon but RC replaced this activity.
I like to landscape my home myself, paint, wallpaper, decorate my own place, and I like to cook.

I like editing video.

creating youtube videos

Bicycling, hiking, and writing. Limited workshop space requires pulling the bikes outside. The one you can see has over 6k miles on it. The one not in the picture is a fixed gear track racer.

Tool and Die Maker {Retired} Woodworker

I was learning injection mold making when I left to get an engineering degree. Biggest mistake I ever made.

gaming, hiking, travelling, driving these are my main hobbies

I photograph stuff in space in my spare time.

Gaming, Fishing, Hiking and Hunting.

I`m playing guitar. Love music a lot!

I like to collect coins and currencies of different countries around the world.

I am also into gardening stuff. I love gardens especially small orchards around my areas.

Great image of the Horsehead and Flame nebulae, Alnitak and Alnilam and a streamer of Barnard's Loop. I think Orion is my favorite part of the sky, and then Scorpio and Sagittarius. I'm also a sky watcher, mostly observing; I haven't tried my hand at serious astrophotography, but I've done quite a bit of single image time exposures and the Solar Eclipse of 2017. What are the details on that image? I'm guessing a Newtonian reflector or RCT, because of the diffraction lines, but what exposure and focal length?
I've got two Schmidt-Cassegrain, a 6" and 8", the 8" is aplanatic, and I have a f/5.9 apochromatic refractor, and two computerized EQ mounts and a manual EQ. I haven't had any of them out in a while, I need to remedy that. I hope to make the trip to get in the path of totality of the total solar eclipse in April 2024. That's about 5 hours drive for me, the one in 2017 was only an hour.

I've had a bunch of hobbies over my 68 years; they always seemed to grow bigger and more expensive as time passed. I flew high power model rockets in the early 1990's, which spurred my interest in RC planes, and have been an avid shooter since the mid-1970's, which has grown to include collecting S&W revolvers and reloading.

Here's an image of what's called a "Diamond Ring" I took during the 2017 eclipse. It's made at the instant the Moon begins to uncover the solar disc after the couple of minutes of totality: The gold-colored band is a reflection, which enhanced the 'ring' effect. I shot this with my 6" S-C and a Nikon DSLR at prime focus and a f/6.3 focal reducer.

Mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, canoeing/kayaking both smoothwater and whitewater, woodworking, plus tinkering with guns and target shooting. Those are my main hobbies. I have too many hobbies, but at least it is extremely rare that I ever get bored.

I make circuits based on micro-controllers. This is a circuit which converts dimensions

I admire the people here, you do so much, my fav hobby is ping pong, I'm interested in it for 10 years, I've recently bought a table Killerspin, it's a bit pricey but worth it. My husband is a little nervous because I spend so much money on hobbies.

Hey,
As the discussion is about hobbies than I also want to share my hobby. My hobby is bike riding and I love bikes. I have 3 motorcycles and 2 bikes. I have Honda CBR, Yamaha MT 125, Ninja H2R that are motorcycles, and a Trinx temp 1.0 road bike. I love morning vibes when I was cycling and exercising on this bike.
