So... What OTHER Hobbies Occupy Your Time?

[DeaconPiper]

Playing music(guitar/bass), collecting vinyl records, typewriters, fountain pens, stationary, and of course...Warhammer. recently sold all of my 40k when they rereleased fantasy as "The Old World."

I would also say reading/writing but I'm studying for the priesthood so all of my reading and writing is either to work on my thesis, studies, or to sharpen my skills in homiletics.

Orthodox?

 

[DeaconPiper]

I enjoy writing and editing, fly fishing, photography, conversation, listening to old men tell good stories, reading, going for drives, cooking - especially Italian food.

My 1973 D-28 back from a trip to the luthier. It has a fresh neck reset and new frets. I also have an OM-28V that’s a good one, but I’ve been partial to the dread recently.

I wouldnt say woodworking is a hobby but a means to an end that I enjoy.
This project needs a final clear coat of finish but its an oak 12 inch speaker cabinet I made this week.

"Hunter Awtrey how did he fall" and "What Happened to Max Loughan" are fascinating me for the last 5 minutes. Are they both AI hallucinations? There are articles that don't use their names but use the quoted text in full as their names. The rabbit hole hits a dead end really fast, in both cases. Intriguingly broken.

Very nice looking cab!
What did you choose for the driver? Sealed, ported, or open-back?
Looks like you’re running that rig with a Quilter amp of some sort?

I don’t build my own cabs, but I’ve been gigging and doing studio work on the side for a looong time, and have amassed a ton of gear over the years.

Thanks. Its an Quilter US. Fender style tones. I used a 12 inch Eminence cannabis Rex. Open back

Nice. I generally prefer open back for most string instruments except bass. With bass I prefer ported, folded or sealed to keep the low end a little tighter.

Ive always owned open backs. Its especially important to me now. Ive lost most the hearing in one ear. Focused speakers just dont work for me. I need to fill the space.
Im not at all professional. I just enjoy playing at playing jazz. This cab would not be something Id want to carry around. Its not super heavy but its sure not light.

 

[Oddball]

I play Dungeons and Dragons (Live action with real humans around the table). Cut and Sell firewood which I make basic unedited videos of on my youtube channel and carve spoons once every five years...

Lately, I have been scouting all the corners of the internet looking for Estella pipes. Ding Dang I love these things.

This is the end product after some finish and I built a little stand to hold the electronics portion from scraps under the saw.

Vegetable gardening and managing our fruit orchard. Hope to restart fishing now I'm fully retired.

SWEET!

 

[MisterBadger]

Gardening, especially things you can eat - mostly heirloom fruit and vegetables and unusual stuff you can't buy most places, such as skirrets, salsify, achocha and so on. I also breed new varieties of potato raised from the seeds from the fruits that the flowers develop: out of 80+ new cultivars I've raised over the past few years, only two or three have proved really worth keeping, but that's not a bad average, the professionals say. My current project is to try and re-create a couple of potato varieties that were popular in the 19thC but seem to have become extinct in the early 20thC, from the seed of a third variety to which they were both closely related and which is still commercially available.
