I've started doing woodwork. I'm going to build myself a Paulk workbench and then a few things for around the house (really need shelving for the DVD/CD collection and books, fix an Edwardian table setting, lounge, and wardrobe)
After I have got the swing of using my new tools I'm going to build myself a flowbench.

Apart from that my only other "hobbies" are IT stuff (PFsense, Linux, Pen testing), and 4wdriving-camping-fishing-etc.

For me other hobbies are.

Animals.

Gaming PCs, bit of overclocking, custom water cooling etc..

High voltage experiments.

Still cars comprise 80% of my hobby time, of course Animals always take priority so they count towards the % figure.

Lol yeah, I guilty as for that haha. Being a service tech for multi purpose flat bed 3/4 axis CNC cutters I tend to use it to my advantage.

Planes, trains and automobiles.......

I also enjoy fabrication work although never really played with CNC stuff.

Thinking about getting a small jobbing lathe for home as access to the workshop at work is very limited these days. I've already picked up a 20ton shop press and have a small inverter arc welder but would like to add a AC/DC tig to that list as well.

edit: I should add I quiet like old steam engines, one day plan to build a small scale working model of some sort.
