What does everyone collect or do for a hobby?

[Flintknapper]

Not too many 'hobbies'. Hunting and fishing mostly.

I do a little 'flintnapping' from time to time when I feel like it.

Mostly points to hunt with. But sometimes just go and sit down by the pond, relax and see what I can turn out.

Thanks, but they're just rocks. Something to do....I guess.

Beautiful work until ATF decides that you might be a terrorist making weapons of mass destruction. LOL..

You underestimate your talent.
I have tried to do this on multiple occasions, and it is not easy, at least for us mortals.

No doubt on some kind of list.... for one reason or another.

Just being patriotic seems to be enough these days.

Love the oils filter collection! I collect Oil cans but only have one shelf built so far.

I collect Corvair oil filters, because I have a Corvair, and the oil filter that Corvair uses, is not used on any other vehicle known to man (or woman, to be politically correct). I have them in cases of 25 filters to a display case. Last year, a friend built 4 additional cases for me, but haven't gotten around to putting filters into them. I should have asked him to build more, but I didn't want to push my luck. The first 4 I built in my father in laws shop, but he passed away, and I don't have a woodworking shop.
The above is from a reply in another thread from a little over a year ago. When I first started reading this thread it sounded very familiar, so I searched for my original reply and found it in another thread.

I now have 8 cases holding 200 filters, and possibly another 100 in boxes waiting to be sorted out and then put into additional display boxes once I get them made. I keep them in alphabetical order, so every few years requires a complete reset of all the display cases. I am working on that presently.

Rc cars are probably my favorite hobby. I real into the 1/24th scale crawlers with my kids right now. They are easy and small. But don’t cost any less.

I collect old John Deere Tractors, 80s trucks, and chainsaws. Wife collects little dogs. Lost gun collection in a boating accident.

Super cool, love old
Locks and actually collect locks myself. But that finger jointed DuPont box is pretty freaking cool! Love the pics you guys did!

My brother's FIL had these boxes and was going to throw them in the dumpster. Yikes!! My brother grabbed them for me, thinking they'd go good with some of our military group collections.


For high end clientele, such as lockouts in jewelry stores and fancier businesses......we do have our dress uniforms for a more upscale/professional appearance!


The other day our combined police/fire/etc. services were holding a shooter/rescue exercise/drill. It was tempting to dress up in our attire and think about driving by. Or running between trees while peeking out from behind. Common sense prevailed when we figured it wouldn't look good to be behind bars and featured on the 6 o'clock news! It was fun thinking about it though!!

Nicee! Love me some 80’s square bodies! And what do you mean you lost your gun collection in a boating accident??

He means that while out boating, the boat rolled over hard enough to allow all of his guns to slide into the deep water at an unknown location.
None of the guns are recoverable, some of them are now banned. They can not be surrendered because he no longer has them.
It's an unfortunate situation.

Common occurrence it seems, so sad.

Had to get a new boat too.

Here's the picture of the square body:

Motorcycles. That's my thing. Not collecting (although my wife would disagree) but racing them. Thats me on the 132 fighting my good friend for 3rdplace in the Middleweight Superbike class.
