If you ask me about my hobbies you'd better have some free time and a comfortable seat.
πΏποΈ Ok, let's hear them.
Well to start I play the guitar, bass, two kinds of banjo, drums, synthesizer and sing. I'm not picky about genres. I record using a DAW called Reason. I made my electric guitar about 5 years ago out of lumber sourced from the cabinet of a dead transistor organ I could never quite get to work properly that my wife finally told me had to quit taking up space. I have a Lofi synthesizer and a theremin that I built also. I'm also slowly building a collection of homemade effects pedals. I enjoy RC. I have a small helicopter and rock crawler truck, but no airplanes that are air worthy at the moment. I build Gundam models, and have also dabbled in kitbashing unrelated models like cars and airplanes together. This hobby I share with my 12 year old son. I have a couple of 1980s Honda 3 wheelers that I keep alive and occasionally ride. I bake often and I will never be skinny again because I'm good at it. Oh, brewing. I do like to make mead and occasional fruit wines. I'm especially fond of making floral meads with hibiscus or chamomile for example. I've been known to paint when the urge takes me. I have a 3D printer. I have even made a few useful things with. I designed a well working samba whistle that I keep forgetting to upload to thingiverse, and a few other things I have managed to wrestle out of blender. I know I'm forgetting something. My wife calls me a hobby spider.
