Hobbies

[Laura912]

Many of you are woodworkers. Perhaps this will inspire you to combine your interests. Sitting may be difficult unless there are hinges in the back. My attempt to make a pair of heels led to some good kindling.

[Judy-Somthing]

I tried to make heels when I was about 16. Finding heels in any size over 10 without the embarrassment of buying them was just about impossible.

[Allisa]

So many questions, how do you put it on?, what holds it together and most important what does it weigh?

[Tracii G]

Wow that took some real talent I'm impressed.

[DIANEF]

Impressive piece of work, doesn't look very comfortable though!

[Dana44]

That is impressive. Don't quite know how it goes together and wow sitting. The look though is awesome.

Sports photography, working out in the gym, researching sports facts for betting on college and pro football games, shopping, cross dressing, public speaking, and spending much quality time with my wife.

I have fun and laugh with each one of the hobbies listed above! I really have what Jimmy Stewart would say "A Wonderful Life".

Thanks for asking about my hobbies and look forward to reading about yours!

XOXOXO Scarlett :o

Splinters could become a problem after extensive wear. In a wetter climate a termite problem might surface. Woodpeckers and squirrels wanting to build nest would be unwanted guest at a social gathering.

Laura, just a little humor their. Yeah, I know---very little. However, I do know Laura is very professional in any hobby she has.

[Tracii G]

Building guitars is one of my hobbies.
This one one set I called ying yang.
The tele model was for the country/traditional player and the star shape was for the all out metal rock & roller type.
Both painted in 1950's Fender shell pink color.
Both guitars I sold and they are gigging to this day in the hands of professional musicians.

Very creative and interesting! Applause to Laura912!

One of my talents and hobbies is drawing. Many ideas come from meditation. In retirement I am making it a priority to sit down and create once a week or so.

I fly fish while in Colorado. Motorcycle riding is a passion. So is volunteer dog walking and helping the local adoption system function. Cooking is another and my wife and I often work together in the kitchen.

Hobbies? Too many, but if I had to pick one or two, it would be woodworking and building my own audio gear. I am far from a master craftsman with saw and square, but I can do a credible job on almost any household repair or remodel. And I've merged to two hobbies and built my own speaker cabinets many times. Not long ago, I started building my own amplifiers. My pride and joy is single ended triode tube amp. Built as an experiment to satisfy for myself what all the audiophile snobbery over tube amps was, it made me an instant convert. So yeah, OK, listening to well recorded music is also a love. Genre matters almost not at all. If it's well done, it's a joy to listen to.

[Tracii G]

Kelly this might interest you its essentially a 50's style tweed (think Fender) guitar amp.
The chassis and parts are all from an old Hammond organ pre amp.Powered by a 6V6 tube.
Put the chassis in a 1930's Crosley table top radio.
Its only 4 watts but plug a guitar in and the tone is super nice. I have it plugged into a Marshall 4X12 cab at the moment.

[Dee Baker]

Nice work here by many.
I never thought about making heels however I have thought about making sandals like the Dr. Scholl's. They were popular in the 70s. You can still buy them today but nothing larger than size 11.

O H MY GOSH. Have you seen that show. " World of wearable art ". It is so fantastic all the clothing on display. It was at the EMP Museum in Seattle, now called Mo Pop museum. I wish I had more pictures. That dress you show was in the show.

[Sami Brown]

In the rare cases when I have time, I like to make silver jewelry. My sizes are large, so it gives me a chance to make something that fits.

Most of my free time is spent either walking for exercise or working on the house to ready it for sale. The goal is to move into a city large enough to go out dressed with lower odds of seeing someone I know. My current town is too small for regular outings. Wouldn't mind being able to meet with others socially as well. So remodeling is very high on my list.

[Kelli Jo-ann]

my hobbies consist of golf, riding 4-wheelers and flying radio-controlled airplanes. none of which I can do dressed.
however for the last couple of months I've been going skating on family night with my daughter. I have learned to skate way better than I did when I was a teenager. the other day I wore all girl clothes but was not dressed as a girl. no one really seemed to notice. I had on American Eagle artist jeans with a women's t-shirt top. some of my friends said I was very stylish looking. Lol

[sometimes_miss]

Way before I could find shoes in my size, I owned a nice band saw. So, I carefully sliced out a pair of platform high heeled shoes with a sort of solid bottom (no cut out in the bottom between the front of the sole and the heel, so it wouldn't crack apart). Downfall, was I didn't have the skill (or the material) to make the leather straps that I would need for the upper parts. So I wound up throwing the base parts away.
Hobbies, model trains, real trainfanning, watching auto racing, flight sims, watching lots of movies (love old theaters), teaching my parrots tricks and just playing with them. Used to ride a motorcycle, but my knees gave out. So, now all my 'rides' are in my car.

I love it when you talk dirty. And pictures too! LOL

[Angie G]

WOW that awesome. And I'm a woodworker. Tried heels once and soon gave up on that.:hugs:

[Laura912]

At least five people so far have tried to make heels. Sure is nice now to walk in and buy a pair. Beats two slabs of wood tied on with rope!

[sara66]

I would love to try making something like that. That is right in my wheelhouse. Unfortunately my wife has a list a mile ling of things I need to make first.

Personaly I'm going to let those pass me buy. I'll stick to the more traditional & comfortable.:heehee:

[Stephanie47]

I thought the moderator said yesterday this was to be related to cross dressing? Changed her mind? Oh, that was a thread about sports. OK, I do have more traditional hobbies; coin and stamp collecting, building military models. I also have a collection of over 425 full slips. Maybe that's not collecting but a compulsive disorder. Psychotherapy needed?
