What are your other hobbies?

[dbales]

I know the reason most of us even signed up for this site is because our cb7's are our hobby, but what other things are you guys into?

For me, it's metal working and wood working. I've been welding for a couple years now but just recently got into wood working. Most of my materials are re-purposed from my job (bowling alley). Here's some of the things I've done/currently working on.

Tv stand made from 2 broken ballwheels (ballwheels are pictured to the right):



An abstract piece made from rings that hold ball bearings to a part of the pinsetter machine and the "eye" looking piece in the middle was made from 1" round tubing (also a part of the machine) cut and hand bent to shape. Still deciding on how I wanna finish it:


Another abstract piece made from hand bent round tubing and a bowling pin stripped of its plastic coating. Plan is to sand and stain the pin a dark mahogany and weld the tubing around it, more pics later:



Let me know what you guys think.

That's pretty cool, man. You keep the abstract pieces fairly simple, which is good. They have a flow to them that more complex pieces lack.

I've abandoned most of my hobbies for the moment, but I played in a band fairly recently. I'm working on getting another one started.

For me, shooting. I like to play video games too but I feel like it was a huge waste of time afterwards. With shooting, there's an element of meditation involved. Focus on you, the gun, and the target. Simplifies life and makes it easy to slow down, breathe, and take the shot.

I'd really like to get into competition but that's a ways off. I need to shoot more to get better first.

For now, I'm staying with .22lr. $20 buys you about 500 rounds and that will last for a month or longer depending on how frequent you shoot. I own a Ruger MK3 22/45 pistol and I want to buy a Ruger 10/22 rifle sometime soon.

I really like that TV stand! Even more since that metal and wood is put to good use twice!

My main hobbies INCLUDE, but are not LIMITED to, my car, tattooing, and my nitro rc truck. Here are a couple pics...

dbales-nice looking shelves!! i have been wanting to learn how to weld. i think it would be cool.

blackgoose-nice looking free hand tattoos!!

for me (other then working on my cb) playing FPS and racing video games. i have a couple remote control cars i like playing with from time to time. I also make key chains. most of my key chain designs i have copied off a couple websites i found but i have created a few designs myself. currently working on 2 of my own designs. one of which is a Honda emblem.

here is an over view of most of the key chains i have made(2 of the below key chains i came up with myself and 2 i modified):

I like to tinker with a lot of things like my accord, civic, and my computer.
I have a Mustang RC car that i put LEDs into the headlights to make it look like it had HIDs.
