So what's your other hobbies or interests?

[Brian-s]

My time killing hobby, besides biking of course, used to be crocheting, but my carpal tunnel is too bad so now I just watch TV or force myself to go outside and geocache.

 

[BrianK]

I lost interest in my previous hobbies, I was hoping to find something that can be a source of passive income. Any suggestions?

It’s expensive to get into, and I only started this 18 months ago as a hobby, but I’m getting enough requests now for items I make on my wood lathe that my hobby is finally paying for itself, and then some.

Those are gorgeous! Well done!

Thanks. I’ve talked to some wood turners who have been turning for 40 or 50 years. When they look at stuff I’m making now, they just assume I’ve been turning for my whole life too. But I just started this hobby 18 months ago.

Mountain bikes - building, wrenching, experimenting, riding, etc. I use the ebike mostly for transportation - MTBs for fun and exercise. Grew up with essentially a bike park in my back yard, started riding 46 years ago, and lived through the evolution from BMX > early MTBs (still have one of the first) > ultra-modern canyon-slayers.

AV dork - mostly car audio. Also collect high-end vintage car audio. I got into it when I was 15, and have loved it all these years. Even turned it into a career.

Gamer - still have all my Playstations and a few other consoles, built probably a dozen gaming PC rigs over the years. Mostly flight-simming now on the PCs - also steadily/slowly studying for my private pilot if I can ever find enough money to fly on a regular basis.

Motorcycling (dual-sports). Taking a break from it until I move to a less-crowded spot, but miss it bigtime and am ready to dive back in.

Here’s a candy dish and pens I was commissioned to make for a local college’s admissions office, from part of a log from an old large walnut tree they took down in October for an office addition.

Hello, how I admire you! Besides work, computer casino games(thanks Ganesha gold https://ganeshagoldonline.com.br/ for great impressions) and beer, I have nothing left for a long time. How do you find time and strength for all this, cool!

Amazing work! I’m really into restoring old things, especially old pieces of furniture. I follow servpro and like their work a lot too. They have some great restoration techniques and services. If you have any other tips or recommendations for restoring vintage items, I’d love to hear them!

Motorcycling (dual-sports). Taking a break from it until I move to a less-crowded spot, but miss it bigtime and am ready to dive back in. I was scouring the web looking for a Pin-Up casino that actually supports Bangladeshi players, and that’s when I landed on Pin‑Up Casino review Bangladesh . The site immediately caught my attention because it claims to offer a fully localized experience — account setup, login steps, and even depositing via local payment systems like bKash or Rocket. What’s more, there’s a section about bonus offers specifically tailored to Bangladesh users, with detail on rollover requirements and maximum withdrawal limits. If you’re from Bangladesh and unsure where to play reliably, this site might just be your best bet.

I feel pretty much the same about distribution, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Being pretty far off center on the engineering spectrum (which should be a recognized medical disorder) most of my hobbies seem to involve interesting but (sadly) expensive equipment used outdoors. Things that I once was intensely into but not so much any more include R/C airplanes, windsurfing, paramotoring, skiing, off-roading (Jeep), sportscars, spearfishing, hunting, shooting sports, beer brewing, and probably others I've forgotten.

But the lifetime constants are building and fixing things (whether wood, metal, or electronic), hiking (XC skiing in the winter) and backpacking (there's that interesting equipment thing again), and flying.

My woodworking is mostly twig furniture and lamps like these:

The flying once was paramotors as previously mentioned, but lately is all biplanes, my current toy is a 1992 Rose Parrakeet (replica of a 1929 design):
