What's your 'other' hobby?

Golfing...another inexpensive hobby.

 

Fishing, Drinking, Shooting, golfing. Try to have a good time with whatever I do.

 

I used to make things round:

 

Cars,Guns, Home A/V,Car Audio, Snowmobiles, The Tundra.... Its a sad existence. I am constantly looking at my bank account realizing that there is too much month at the end of the money.

 

<<<<<<Racing sailboats, duck/upland hunting, dog training and maintaining boats, camp and other toys.

 

Coin collecting. Specifically Morgan dollars. Another expensive hobby to have for sure!

Bluberry farming..37 gallons last summer.


I taught her how to kill a whitetail with a crossbow..we eat lots of venison. She is a deadly shot.


I hickory smoke our own venison jerky...and tender loin bacon wrapped.




Our renewable resource...they breed like rabbits...


Trout fishing in the mountains..

And a night crawler in the fishes mouth..............................................

 

And a 6 yr old holding the night crawler

 

And you holding a towel so you won't get your hands dirty handing the 6 yr old the night crawler......

 

And crying

 

I'm crying just thinking of the dirt touching me

 

No way!! You still feel the grit

 

I have lots of hobbies but one I just got into is wood working. I have a CNC machine at work so I'm trying to take advantage of it.

 

Learning to use all my dads tools doing small projects round the house easy stuff nothing major also wana learn to weld wire n stick and learn torch cutting... fishing is other hobby (salt water)

 

My friends and I travel around New England and try not to hit each other in our bmws. Some people call it stupid we call it drifting.

 

aramirez73, for your projects around the house a Hobart Mig set up is perfect for small projects. Here's a 190 amp set up that's plug-n- play. The only requirement on it is you would have to have a 220 hook up, like your washer and dryer are hooked up to. Imop, stay away from your 120v welders you plug into your house current, you are very limited with what you can weld. Duty cycle will tell you a lot about your welder. I work with equipment that's 60% min to 100%. I will explain with a time frame of 10 minutes. So if you have a welder with a duty cycle of 40%, then that means you can weld for 4 minutes constant, then let welder cool down for remaining 6. The higher the duty cycle the longer you can weld. Here is a 190 amp Hobart with everything you need. You probably can get away with it's little brother that's 140-150 amp for $300 or so cheaper. You can weld pretty much anything you need to with a 150 amp welder. Also here's a Victor Torch set up. I swear by Victor products as I have used them since I got into welding and burning.
One more quick note on the welder. The Hobart usually will have a spool of wire with it. It will more than likely be flux-cored wire, which means no gas required. If you decide you want a duel shield for your welding then add another $100 or so for the bottle. Welds are cleaner and look better with dual shield, but more of a preference. Hope this helps and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Salute

 

The welders i got are a Hobart handler 125 that runs on house power called Hobart they dont make parts for it anymore they say lol they refer me to aftermarket company and the stick welder is a Lincoln 225 "cracker box" and the torch cutter is two full size tanks but i need new hoses and regulators cause they soooo old my dad passed away 2 yrs ago so i acquired all his stuff...a lot of the power tools came in metal cases instead of the now plastic cases some tools i have no use for so they just gona sit n collect dust also got a packard precision drill press mfg in 1978 sits bout 3' tall weighs a ton list goes on n on with power tools called all companies to mail manuals

 

I hear ya. The old buzz box.
