Members gunfighter48 Posted May 10, 2008 Members Report Posted May 10, 2008 Besides leather working I do some amateur astronomy (have an 8" diameter SCT telescope), photography, target shooting, and play with computers. Used to make giant scale gas engine powered radio controlled airplanes, have done model railroads, cowboy action shooting (back gave out and I had to give it up, sure do miss it), wedding and model photography. Living in Seattle, WA doesn't give me much chance to do astronomy but every once in awhile the sky clears up enough so I can get a good view of the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, and the Sun (have to use a special filter so you don't burn out your eyes), different galaxies and nebulas.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted May 10, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted May 10, 2008 I like to do some sport shooting at a local range, dabble with computers, and when I get a long porch pass, head to the beach to do some surf fishing with my fly rod. I tie my own, and it's really satifying to catch fish with 'bait' you've made yourself.

Contributing Member Denise Posted May 10, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted May 10, 2008 I also like to do counted cross stitch, but don't seem to have a lot of time so it takes a while to get a piece done. Just the backstitching to do on the one I have been working on for 3-4 years. My favorite is framed and on our wall. It took me 5 years to finish. Too bad it is a donkey and not a horse, but I am not artistic enough to change it. Quote

We all shoot ISSF pistol matches and have been for years. My wife is the State Coach. Luckily, we only live about 100 yards from the range. Wife and daughter still show horses but my son and I have better sense, too much work for so little return. I reckon if you're going to have a horse it may as well be a racehorse as you may get something back! Tony. Quote
TomSwede Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 (edited) Besides my leather addiction, I do a little photography - macro shots are my favorite. Me too, I like to shoot my clean armpits... Butt not in macro since I use extension tubes for my 100-400mm lens. Nature and wildlife is my favourite, strolling in the woods is just so darn nice, could be a hobby of it's own really. I love fishing too. Pike, trout and eels mostly, eels would be best if they were'nt so hard to find. Love my heavy metal music and wish I had more money to collect albums and rare stuff. I got so many interests I gotta stop here. Tom Edit: wow, Dagr! Those dragons are really nice, what a talent!

Pip Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 Ok, other than beating dead cow, fully armored combat, and ren faires, I dabble a little bit with counted cross stitch. Yeah yeah, I know ppppppp But, picture this, a big burly guy in full plate armor, sitting with all the pretty girls, cross stitching. Sorry, not the greatest pictures. Ha ha a love tactician, knight of the sowing circle, does your patience pay off? LOL I have tried cross stitch to, although I would never admit it to friends. I rescue bats, do some woodland survivalism (off beat camping) but not offen enough, I roleplay (still, I know its a bit sad but It means I keep in touch with friends from 22 years ago), I carve spoons, nothing elaborate but relaxing when I don't carve my fingers instead. I read several books at a time..... OMG I am a nerd! lol Quote
