pitbulld45 23 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) My family races. I race a hornet on dirt. Both of my kids race quarter midgets on dirt and hard surfaces ( that only takes up about 3 days a week). I also like being outdoors. weather it be hunting, fishing, hiking or what ever. Also love going off road. I have a Jeep xj with 6.5 inch lift on 35 inch tires. I also ride motorcycles. By the way really cool bed. I have no talent for something like that.

bigj480 203 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm pretty one dimensional, it's basically just guns. I bought a guitar but didn't have the discipline. I would like to have a bike and I've been wanting to go skydiving, but that will probably never happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Severely nerdy hobbies: I paint miniatures. You know those big battle dioramas that you can find in some museums? Stuff like that, except I also play games with them. Napoleonics, Japan, War of 1812 Naval, WW2 ground and naval, all the way up to scifi. I also watch anime, but if you can find me a good story well told from Hollywood recently, I'll watch it, too. I'm just tired of things like Mission Impossible or Avatar where they blew the entire budget on visuals and forgot the story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dayofruin 425 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Aside from guns and shooting, I collect G.I. Joe action figures. Preferably still in the original sealed packaging. Aside from the toys, I'm the vocalist for a progressive metal band, Day of Ruin. I have a small recording studio in my house where we record all of our own music. We are currently recording our second full length album and hope for a late spring/early summer release. A lot of people see success in music as being a famous rock star. We see it as being happy with what you're doing and where you are. We get to play with some pretty cool bands sometimes, like the show that we just played with Hatebreed and All That Remains. I'll try to post a pic later. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YARP 300 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Man some of you guys have the nicest rides! I'm obsessed with hunting and fishing (very new to fishing though) and may get my trapping license next year. Reloading has become a bit of a hobby although I've recently reduced the amount of calibers I'm loading. Been back at the drafting board alot lately to and realizing how much I've missed it. Current project is getting a decent workshop designed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogMan 2,343 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well, besides that other thing , My newest hobby is teaching myself to sew heavy material like leather and nylon webbing. After doing a lot of research I've picked up a stable of some of the old heavy duty machines like the Phaff 130 and Necci BU. These things are all metal Sherman tanks that you just can't buy in a new machine anymore. Making and repairing nylon straps, outdoor gear, dog harnesses, rifle slings, etc. is a breeze. These old machines are a marvel of engineering that any gun tinkerer would appreciate. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roachtron 49 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I like working on computers, i prefer building them more then fixing software problems. It gets tiring when everyone asks will you fix my computer? I am planning to get into archery before next years fall season, maybe even start on spring turkerys. I would also like to learn weilding and do more work on automobiles if/when i get a place with a garage. Edited December 30, 2011 by roachtron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JaySaiga-12 16 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I really don't have any other hobbies but guns right now, however I've been doing some photography of wildlife and my guns here lately, just haven't got into it that much yet. Other than that I would like to get into fishing saltwater and inland fishing. I'm interested in doing some metal and wood work but I have not tried anything yet, mostly because I don't have the material but I don't have any knowledge or skill either. I almost got into the Airsoft thing but that never really panned out. So that's about it for now maybe one day when I really get into this stuff I will revisit this thread and post pictures.

Lately I have ben building log beds to help finance my gun habit. I thought it would be a good thread to start. here is one I just got done. I havent put the finish on yet This is one of those things that may look sort of easy to do on the surface, but I'll bet it's not easy at all. Is there a trick to getting the whittled down ends of the odd shaped posts to line up perfectly with their corresponding holes at the correct angle, or do you have to just painstakingly eyeball each one to fit?

RobRez 1,895 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Wow, somone calls themselves fatty alcohol and does triathalons! That is pretty kick ass! I built a 3/4 mile maze of mountain bike stunt course on our ranch! We have olympics to see who can ride best in 10 events, al while drinking as much as possible! And drinking for Points! I also hunt as well. Damn, I am a Hobby-assed Mother F**cker! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunnybean 939 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Time and age change a lot of thing things I do/did for fun. I mean, riding off cliffs on mtn. bikes and skiing 100+ days a year are all a distant memories now. Anymore, I like to ride and tinker with the H-D, home improvements seem to occupy a lot of time, and I spend a large amount of time gardening and preserving food. My work schedule allows about as mich time off as I want in the fall, so I spend quite a bit of time hunting pheasants and elk. The Mrs and I enjoy good food, so we spend a lot of time cooking. In the future, I hope to travel with the wife more. Right now my/our main goal in life is to pay off the house. Two more years and we're done. I don't want to owe anyone anything. Once that is accomplished, we'll buy some BMW GS bikes and spend a large chunk of the winter touring the southern US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
