Great thread. Past hobbies include, Tesla coils, jacobs ladders and anything i could find super high voltage. The obvious ones are making bows, flint knapping and making arrows. Lately lots of reading and drawing. Just purchased everything i need to start bladesmithing when i get off of this smelly island and back home. Have not been on in ~9 months because the sat. com internet blocks "weapons related sites" now i have my own 3g stick and can once again add perusing P.A. to my list.

Raising rabbits, and most of the primitive related subjects.  Rockhounding!

Thanks Gus... I forgot to mention that I'm a professional "gatherer" and "trader."  :laugh: ;D ;) I gather raw materials and sometimes I gather and make neat things that no one that I know of has ever thought about.

I was given that big redfish on a pier on the Texas Coast last July. Gus got the slabs of meat and I kept the skin. Well when we came home I washed and cleaned the scales and set them out to dry. One day it hit me that they were naturally shaped like a guitar pick. I don't play the guitar so i don't know how that happened.

Anyway, I made guitar picks out of the scales. They work great according to the guitar playing folks I have given some too.

Gather and disperse... And trade... I enjoy that  ;)

Dang Cipriano, at first I thought you caught that thing.  That would have been a heck of a catch!

Jimbob it was a huge fish. It swallowed the hook and was going to die, so the guy that caught it gave it to me and I tagged it. He caught 12 this big and tossed them all back.

I am a fairly decent golfer.  I played my best 9 holes ever last year at 2 over par :)  Before I got married, I was into a lot of sports leagues; bowling, softball, and 2 different basketball leagues.  I enjoy reading but most of my books are either bowbuilding/knapping or native american related.  Really, if I'm not doing something bow related, I'm spending time with the wife and kids.  I don't have much time for anything else.

   Outlaw;  My best round of golf was played about thirty years ago in the Invitational Tourament at our GC ,I was 5 under thru 13 holes and took a 10 on a 5 par and then par on in for second.Golf will keep you humble.
