Other hobbies

I used to be somewhat into RC planes myself. That was fun while it lasted. I never had a huge set up. Must be common to my hobbies. I'm not overly elaborate with brewing hardware, and I don't know all the buzzwords either. But I like what I make and I have fun doing it!

I took my woodworking DIY side of my hobbies to an extreme two years ago and spent about a year building a wooden double sea kayak. It was a kit type construction with step by step instructions. But when I'm out in the water in it it sure as s rewarding.

All I can say is it sure is amazing what one can do when they put their mind to to it and dedication.

I think hombrewing has now taken over that hobbie . At least I don't have to go far to get a decent beer when working on my next big project ha ha.

R/C planes - check. Fishing, yep. I don't know how to make boats.

But from this thread looks like folks who brew just live better lives all around...

 

[GFHomebrew]

That's because making beer and good times go hand in hand

I'll give boat building a miss .... Have worked on a few that people tried to build themselves and failed .
They heard we have a good workshop so brought them to me .
I also get a lot of beds to repair for some reason , think with the average weight increasing faster than bed engineering standards are improving

I make the odd pen or two

But only the wood bits! Most penturners buy the metal parts from penturning suppliers
Cheers!

I need another bike in my life !
Sadly local drivers here in Radelaide are very poor at seeing bikes and giving them room

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]
