Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
Well, since you asked ... Here was my first passion. That's me in the cowboy hat, of course.
Eventually, they got bigger. Need something to while waiting for the evening hatch. and something to do in the winter. and something else to do in the winter. and something else that isn't nearly as much as it was for quite a while. Last edited by steve s; 10-16-2011 at 09:21 AM. |

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
Antique radios, candlestick telephones, antique clocks. I used to live in Cincinnati so I understood the comment about Herschede clocks. Back in the day I used to go to the Herschede store and drool over the long clocks! Also, I have a collection of antique typewriters, and a collection of Marklin Trains.

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
The Model A is not my only hobby, but it almost has been for this last summer. I also have two MGBs which have been feeling neglected lately. Besides cars, I am also into wood working, sailing, and amateur radio (N9WHH). My garage is so cramped for space I have to go outside just to change my mind!

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
Collecting cans with my name on them.
Used to ride motorcycles a lot but not so much now. Surfing the net can be fun because you never know what you will turn up. It is amazing how much information is posted. Like everyone else here I have to say I enjoy anything mechanical. Doing what they say can't be done. I am sure we all have done that.

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
I am amazed, astounded, jealous, and glad I asked this question and started this thread... what an varied group of people! I found myself thinking, "Yep, me, too!" to many of the hobbies and collections mentioned and I am in total harmony with all these obsessions. Wouldn't it be great to do one huge national garage tour?

This particular Trabant was one of about 15 bought and used by the Irish rock band U2 back in 1992 on their world tour as part of a stage prop. Pictures are of the Trabbi in my garage with my '31 and the other is in front of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland where four other U2 Trabants hang in the front atrium. -Tim Last edited by WTSHNN; 10-16-2011 at 12:50 PM. |

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
I enjoy studying the American Civil War and am an active member of the California University Civil War Roundtable. I live in a pre 1800 log cabin, and have restored my grandfather's 1930's gas station. The building that my business is located in was once an Auburn/ Cord agency and sold Atlantic gas. I have collected all kinds of Auto and petrol advertising since I was a kid, but especially porcelain and neon signs...back when people used to give this junk to you just for hauling it away ! Thank American Pickers for the end of that !

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
Here's a few of my BB Guns. Interestingly enough, the producers of A Christmas Story will not allow Daisy to use the name/logo. The original story was "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" written my Gene Shepard, a sometime contributor to CAR & DRIVER. Gene confused the model 25 slide action BB gun with the Red Ryder Carbine as to the "compass in the stock" feature. Daisy made a very limited number of RR's with a "compass in the stock" for the movie. I have one.

From this to Model A's, a wise choice for an old man.

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
In prison, an uncle learned to make fake bark from a mixture of water, newspapers, casein glue, and applied it to shot glasses, hooch bottles, etc. The texture was created by use of a dull table knife, and then brushed with shellac.
DO ANY OF YOU KNOW HOW THIS IS DONE? I'm studying up on doing woodgraining, and would like to accent it with fake bark. P.M. me if you wish.
