No t wanting to hijack Puffy's thread I thought I'd start this one
What is/are your hobby/ies, appart from riding your bike that is
I like to make things, mainly things that I need and could buy, but find it cheaper and more enjoyable to make my own
such as a choofer, a cooking "devise" often made of an old gas bottle (such as ozpig) which can be used as a contained fire place when camping, or a cooking fire or even an oven, I had one like that but gave it to my daughter and SIL when I made this one from a stainless steel bucket, it all packs up to fit in a milk crate
with the lid on it's a great oven and I have cooked roasts in and and baked bread
I have made a few things, including some stone stompers for the back of the car to prevent dents on the front of the van, the real thing $300+, these cost me some time and bits I had lying around, the flaps were given to me
actually these are the first attempt with some old floor mats (didn't work) so a mate gave me some truck mud flaps
Many years ago (early 80s) i worked for 2 years with my dad (he was a baker pastry cook) in his shop and learnt to decorate cakes, I still dabble in it, mainly for family and my latest was our son and daughters wedding cake.
I only use fresh or butter cream, this one was a sponge cake, sauced with 500ml of kirsch and decorated with butter cream it took me an hour to decorate, the flowers were bought
So now it's up to you, other than riding, what are your hobbies
