Title: We know about your hobbies
Post by: Pat B on July 27, 2015, 11:08:03 pm
...what else do you want to learn? What would you like to add to your hobby list?
I'm interested in everything. That seems to be one of my main problems.  :-\   Too much stuff, not enough time!

Somewhere down the line, I would like to learn how to build canoes and kayaks.  But that will have to wait until I finish a few firearm projects and a few bows that are in the works.  Josh

I have your same problem Pat.  Guns bows knives painting woodworking house building and house tear downs.  Way too many things not enough time.  Hunting season is right around the corner.  Did I mention my wife and I own a our own buisness too.   TIME :-\

Ditto.  Cedar strip canoes and kayaks are amazingly beautiful and useful!

There are a few languages id like to learn, I want to learn n to knapp, also be better at charcoal portraits,  get more into boat building, as well as automotive tinkering,  model rockets, rc planes, build my own hoise, celestial navigation,  I someday hope to sail around the world again, except this time on a sailboat of my own design I build. Also want to perfect scratch built black powder ( I am a Hawkins after all ). There is a dual hammer design I want to try, left hammer is percussion,  right is fllint. Never without a soirce of ignition :) also a way to turn a break barrel into an auto loader.

I have a jet engine design, a compound bow design, as well as a few other things I have thought of I need more research on id love to patent.  That would include my wifes awesome bbq grillin sauce.  I have two books id like to write, one play, a few short cartoons, and one song id like to see performed by a country music star. I have much to do before I die.

Flint Locks have been SCREAMING at Me the last couple of years. Seems to Me Primitive Archery & Buckskinning go hand & hand. Have done a lot of reading, and the mid to late 1700's interest Me - here in Michigan it's rich in history . I feel a Trade Gun in My future  :). Bob

   Looking back I wish I would have spent more time on flint knapping, and making cordage. Also weaving and trap building. Now I have reached an age where I might just find a new hobby, possibly making musical instruments.

I would like to learn how some people seem to get more done the busier they get.  With me, the busier I get, the more stuff gets messed up, or partially done, lost, or forgotten.  And then I have to set aside time to repeat, repair, remind, or remember.

Yep, that ... and also learn to how to build an epic flame thrower.

KHalverson. rod building is easy (if you are talking about glass blanks and not bamboo)  I have a large amount of supplies,   threads, guides, tip  tops and some cork handles left over from my building/repair days.  You want to get started I will give you some things to get started with.  You would just need a blank.

For many years I have been known as a collector of hobbies

so having been so blessed  my ambition lays in watching the grand kids eyes light up when I get to share a hobby with them , hope they all have at least one thing we can enjoy together
Have fun folks
I already have
