I was wondering what other hobbies you have besides woodworking/turning? I do Metal Detecting when I have time. Bought me a new one last X-mas but haven't had a chance to use it. Shame on me. I've got a nice place to go but my woodturning is priority right now.

And I forgot to add SCUBA diving.
 
hunting - deer and turkey,
gun smithing, shooting and reloading,
motorcycles,
home repair/improvement,
camping,
auto repair...

I have a ton of hobbies.
 
I fly fish, tie flies and build the occasional fishing rod. I originally got my lathe so that I could turn reel seats for the fly rods I was building. I also garden and if you can call it a hobby, I love to read.

Hobbies

My wife and I compete in dog agility with the beauties you see in my pic. Other than beginning to spend too much time on this site, my other hobby is making my wife mad by tracking sawdust into the house. :biggrin:

It just goes to show that wherever you go, there you are.

Hunting and fishing are more getting groceries than hobby for me but I enjoy them. Most of my "downtime" revolves around the outdoors.
 
A former hobby. I sold the truck a few months ago. 550 hp. 600+ foot lbs torque. 48000 lb sled. 300 ft' of dirt. No practice laps. I miss that truck.

I have way to many hobbies to list them all or remember them.
Bred & Show Dogs, Play Mandolin & Ukulele, Bonsai, Boy Scouts, plus a wife, & 3 kids
 
Hunting
Fishing
Play with RC monster trucks (till the track left)
I would love to learn to do fishing rods......
Build trikes and generally anything a normal gear head does....LOL
 
The wife and I used to shoot handguns till the back gave out and now it's computer stuff, hardware and a little web work for some Christian organizations and cooking.
 
Who has time for other hobbies. I used to shoot sporting clays and used to own a boat. I have some dusty golf clubs and old duck decoys. I have a corner full of old bamboo flyrods that I need to sell to some of you guys looking to refinish them and a few recurves and longbows. I do have 2 kids that get priority and after listing all of this I have realized a patient wife. I do like to draw as you can see somethng I drew in my profile pic.

Yardwork?! :eek:

Guess I have a new hobby...

I also do model rocketry, wide ranging woodworking (platters, cutting boards, furniture), photography, gun collection/shooting, home remodeling, reading (if really a hobby, more of a cherished pastime).
 
Hunting and fishing are my main "outside" hobbies. Woodworking in general is my number 1 hobby. I also do a lot of pyrography during the winter when its to cold in the shop.
 
Fly tying, Rod building, Camping, Fishing, Home brewing, Photography... oh and my two kiddos!

I play Bridge and swim.

Probably should say I raised 6 kids and that gave me the hobby of coaching little league, assisting in coaching kid basketball and football. Attending high school boys basketball, football, baseball and wrestling, girls field hockey, basketball, & softball and college women's field hockey, women's basketballl, football, women's lacrosse.

They did pretty good too - we had 49 varsity letters in high school and about 21 in college among the 6 of them. 2 high school all-league football players, 1 all county football player, 3 all league field hockey players, 4 all county field hockey players, 1 all league baseball player, 4 all league girls basketball players, 4 all county girls basketball players, 3 all league girls softball players, 2 all section girls softball players. In addition the girls softball school batting champion for 5 straight years was one of my daughters and two of those years the 2nd leading hitter was another. 2 boys baseball school batting champions. Three female athlete of the year trophies. School records in girls basketball, most steals, most assists and most 3 point baskets (also league county and section record at the time).

We had one college football player, three college field hockey players (one Division III all American and three times all NY State and named 3 times to regional teams) and one college softball player.

And lest you think they were only interested in sports -- all were elected to the National Honor Society. High Schooll class ranks were 4 of 95, 11 of 66, 5 of 83, 3 of 82, 3 and 4 of 83 (twins). One class president, one class treasurer, 2 members of student council and my twins were co-seniors of the year when they graduated. One appointment to the USCGA. 3 graduated magna cum laude from college and one missed by .03 on her GPA.

YES I AM BRAGGING.

Guitar playing and repair, Martial Arts, collecting peoples' stories, and Anime/Cosplay make most of my list. My favorite though is professional bartending.

ha ha. Have to say that's the same for me. But hunting and fishing are some of my favorite things to do, so you could categorize them there if you want. I'm also into photography.

I play a game called Magic: The Gathering. A LOT of collecting, and a LOT of active building and playing. Have yet to successfully cross the two hobbies.

Wow, someone still plays that? I got into that game right when it came out. I have 100's of cards. Several complete 3rd edition sets, including rare cards. And even some Alpha and Beta cards. I haven't played in years. I know my collection is worth several hundred dollars. I was more of a collector than a player. But I did play well.

My hobbies are computers and photography.
