For me it's guns, crossbows, hunting stuff, performance motorcycles/racing, and since I make my living with them horses, anvils, and forges. Some of my stuff is collectable, but for the most part I use them.

You guys have very nice collections and hobbies. My other hobbies are collecting silver bars by cashing in my clad and metal working, Heres a pic of most of my clad and a few pieces of my work. If any of you are bored you can find my soon to be wife and I on Facebook Benjiandthebanditwelding
This chair was made from 1951 ford tractor fenders and 200 year old barn cedar.
Sunfish and sea turtle.
I made these two sand scoops 2 years ago and haven't used them 5 times

I like the fish and water lily and how you incorporated the drift wood. Looking good!
Thank you guys. I enjoy metal working a lot. Just wish i used my sand scoops more lol
I bet there is someone out there who would kill to get those fenders you made a chair out of!

I can't get any love on my chair. Its the most comfortable ever. I would be more than happy to build you what ever you would like George. Maybe work out a deal like ill build it and you take me cellar hole hunting. and not one of those that was hit in the contest thats going on with you and del![]()

I hunt meteorites in the desert, and seriously dabble in astronomy.
I used to windsurf, but moving to the desert pretty much put the skids on that one.
I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
You guys have the coolest other hobbies and collections, and some of you are obviously very naturally talented. I am so envious.
I grew up (in the 70s and 80s) with an interest in metal detecting, but it wasn't an obsession. I had a cheap little detector, and I found a few old coins, but it faded, although I never completely forgot about it. Then the work years hit and I have always had a high work drive as a number one priority. Now that I've aged a bit, my focus has returned to metal detecting.
My pets and farm animals are what keeps my interest when I'm not detecting. I love my cows and cats and chickens and horse and goats and sheep and dog...

Didn't mean I did not like the chair Josh, you did a great job, just I like the fenders better!Of course I'm an old tractor guy so I see different value in the parts. Because the fenders came off of an old ford, I'm really not too offended.
Although I made a lot of money fixing fords, I just don't like them.

I'm not into the BIG tractors, what I like to collect are called "Garden Tractors". I have a few of the old sears ones from the 60s and 70s. I just picked up two Cub Cadets, one with a loader on it and the other with both a snow blower and a mower deck! The Cubs are vintage 1968! Of course I also have my very large backhoe a Case 580B CK. That's for the really deep MD signals!

wowsome great hobbies , Josh you have some serious skills
love the chair
Tony that comic book collection is HUGE , they must be worth a "pretty penny " now.
Longhair thats a sweet bike , looks scarey fast too.
Freemindstuck you have some real talent with the wood working , those are some beautifully intricate looking puzzles.
Don , that is a great collection of fossils . something i miss finding when i lived out in Arizona.
unfortunately i sold some of my hobby projects off years ago ( 70 supersport , 68 malibu and 68 supersport el camino) but I'm still madly in love with the older chevelles and someday i'll get me another one. Until then I still wheel my Jeep wrangler and spend time camping ( i can't wait to go either) with my kids and Wife.
