dwg69,
My hobbies tend to center around my garden. Gardening, my little pond, a small garden railroad (which involves a lot of bonsai technique to keep the Japanese maples and other trees the right size).
I do like working with wood (I made a bunch of "Sgian Don't" bottle openers I posted on another thread). I build and modify little buildings for my train yard. l have made several housesigns for friends and family. Though I certainly do not have the steady hand and patience that you have to do that careful scroll saw work. I also love going into my little garage workshop with my son and making toys for him. He really wanted a Nautilus submarine like the one in Walt Disney's "20,000 Leagues under the Sea". I couldn't find one . So I made it for him. Since then he has added the Argo, a pirate ship, a viking longboat, and a number of other wood toys to his fleet.
My wife and I also were very much into dancing (ballroom, swing, west coast swing, victorian balls, and even a Scottish country dance class) but with two small children we don't get to do much of it nowdays.
Lastly, I love motoring about (day trips in my Mustang convertible) and playing a bit of golf.
So now you know.
Cheers
