Every hobby interest I've ever had I've invested time and money into with the exception of world travel.

It's left me a scattered mess of a man. BEWARE! You'll be using linoleum knives to make stamps you'll not find any purpose for! You'll learn languages you'll never use and soon forget! You'll have a house choking with exotic instruments you've never mastered!

Why you'll know how to do a little bit of everything at the cost of being accomplished at anything. Impressively well rounded, and consistently underfunded.

As I once said before... I'm a jack-off-all-trades.

I have adopted as my family motto, "Specialization is for Insects."

As for hobbies I have not tried...
I wouldn't mind learning blacksmithing but the opportunity to do so has yet to present itself.

I want to build things, big things out of boards and wood. Like a greenhouse from scratch. I love the smell of sawdust and the sound of power tools and using a hammer.

I want to be able to hire someone to build things, big things out of boards and wood. I hate having to do all that crap myself....

Fakey, you are very lucky. I guess one man's work is another man's play. I noted that Lilith wants to be able to can jams and jellies, yet I do that every year and hate it. Tell you what, you hire me to build things for you, and I'll use that money to hire Lilith to can for me.

Daddy's a joiner, I used to do that for him when I was 10, it's surprisingly easy. Or so I keep telling everyone. Now I need a shed, so maybe I will be put to the test! :)
