Home Hobby Recommendations
So my wife says I need a hobby. I think she’s right
I’ve watched all of the internet.
I already:
Ski
Camp
Garden / yard work
Exercise in home gym
Play guitar
Furiously masterbate
Use weed and any other drugs I am get my hands on.
Occasionally drink.
Hot tub.
Anyone have any garage hobbies to recommend? Something for evenings or those boring weekend days during lockdown.
I was thinking of woodworking or something.
Thanks.

Have you tried sitting on your opposite hand until it falls asleep? Then you turn it upside down?

wood working, indeed. start with a good knife, woodworking hatchet, set of chisels, a gouge or two, a round and flat rasp, and a half decent saw. work your way up.
swing your fucking sword.

Set up a studio for photographing nude models in your garage. Hey, your wife told you you needed a hobby, how can she object?

That can be combined with one of his existing hobbies.

Agree on the cooking and baking. I've started getting into that. I do most of the cooking and my wife loves that I'm not cooking the same stuff I've cooked for 30 years. Be careful with the baking--easy to put on pounds.
I've been woodworking for over 35 years--I highly recommend. See the recent power tool thread in Tech Talk. Don't just buy a bunch of tools; figure out what you want to make and buy accordingly.
A couple of years ago I started turning--while it takes a machine to turn the wood it's really hand work. Not as noisy and dusty as most machine woodworking, just a lot of shavings. A good lathe isn't cheap though; neither are the tools. I use the one at the Truckee Roundhouse; I'm staying away until Covid is over.

I took a woodworking class out at Fort Worden in Port Townsend when I lived out in WA. If they offer them again post-COVID, I would recommend them. Originally Posted by AK47bp

Interesting thread. My wife and I are trying to come up with stuff to do together now with dark cold winter nights.
We both do stuff solo, but finding something we can do together is challenging especially in these COVID times.

The adult lego kits look appealing to me more and more.
My buddy did one of a Porsche 911 and it was surprisingly detailed. Said it took way more time than he expected and he never got bored.
I’ve also though about building some real rockets, not the kid stuff, but out of metal, learn how to machine stuff, etc. Any excuse to work with my drill press more.
I make knives currently, which is the most rednecky awesome thing ever. If you ever get bored just change steels that you work with and everything changes in terms of how you go about things and keeps it fresh.
