What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

We all have one interest in common, but I am curious where other member's interests may lie and how many of us have other things in common. For instance, personally, I collect Stanley collectible woodworking tools, Have a vast collection of Laurel and Hardy memorabilia, and have a love for tall clocks, Herschede in particular. All this and the Model A Ford. I like swap meets, flea markets, yard sales and antiquing in general. Any other ways we can help each other?

Old Impalas and Sunfish sailboats. I get things that were made in the millions so there will ALWAYS be parts.

Offshore fishing.

I collect and restore military vehicles-from 3/4 ton Dodges down to WW2 bicycles. I've accumulated a herd of British motorcycles over the years,which I've restored,and then often traded for something else. I also like vintage target-grade .22 rifles,like old Remingtons,Winchesters, and Mossbergs. I have also gathered up a pretty good collection of Japanese WW2 swords.

Lead singer in a rock band, collect WWII memorabilia and other vehicles, with a concentration of 60's Camaros. Graphic design is my business, but I love it, so I guess it is a hobby also.

Wow what a varied bunch of people! I forgot to mention old bicycles and tricycles. I ride a '71 Raleigh Tourist, my grandson has an early 50's Murray, my wife has a two-tone and chrome ladies Hiawatha, single springer, another Siebert tricycle... the Bicycles are fun, because usually there is little wear, just clean up, oil and adjustments and they are good as new.

There are other hobbies and interests? ;)

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

Mostly anything to do with old junk.I have sheds full of old gas pumps,tonic machines and coolers,candy machines,air meters,old garage equipment,signs,etc.I've had piles of old motorcycles,mostly british with a couple dozen Harleys thrown in.My dad had a plane,I really liked that,but I like toys that need no regular feeding to use them once in a while.I can drag out an old bike,tinker it up,and ride off for a few bucks.Then park it again.I have some RC planes,the mini bike and scooters I had as a kid,and lots of guns.My fathers side of the family were car salesmen and gun nuts.You got your drivers license at 16 and your pistol permit at 18.I had old trucks,but got rid of the last one this summer.I still have a few backhoes,bulldozers and tractors around.Motorcycles are my downfall,if I leave them alone I am OK,but once I get a taste I remember and am back at it again.I ride 75-100 miles most every night after supper in the summer.They are worse than drugs,at least there are help programs for drugs.The A's are kind of like that too.Instead of having just one real nice one,I have three on the road,one in a basket to do this winter,and always keeping an eye out for another one.

Aside from my love of antique cars, I really enjoy photography. I like to combine both hobbies by photographing cars or parts of cars to do creative photography.

If it is a Ford and it burns gasoline i have it or want it.
I was a tool and die maker by trade but now retired and can
not imagine working on old cars without my fully equipped machine
shop.

Daisy air guns going back 112 years. Lots of Daisy memorobilia. Also have a couple of Daisy .22's. Actually built a small museum several years ago.

I've yet to shoot my eye out!

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

Astronomy and telescope making. Another great hobby for a tinkerer:

I know of no subject connected with the pursuit of science which so abounds with exciting and delightful interest as that of constructing reflecting telescopes. It brings into play every principle of constructive art, with the inexpressibly glorious reward of a more intimate acquaintance with the sublime wonders of the heavens.

James Nasmyth, Engineer/Inventor, 1883

Daisys were made just down the road from me in Plymouth. The local museum has a section of wood floor from the old factory,with about a million BBs pressed into it. My Dad collected daisys,and after he passed away, I kept an example of each type.

Music. I also have a 1970's era Trabant, that is a very long story.

I love collecting anything to do with Hopalong Cassidy.(The real king of the cowboys) My father worked at a creamery and all the drivers were issued Hoppy hats, that's what started my collecting. Also love antique restoration and old stuff in general.

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

Photography, Ford Memorabilia (1903-1960 period), heavy metal concerts. Don't really have time for much else!

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

Other hobbies, Antique outboards from 30's and 40's , Model T, Matchbox diecast toys ,machine tools , AND according to my wife JUNK! Bubby Sharp in KY

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

interested in: almost any car or truck from Model T years through 1960s, brewery and RC collectibles, "Aladdin" brand oil lamps, license plates and plate toppers, old Starr-X bottle openers, Allis-Chalmers (and other) tractors, antique furniture; actually most anything related to history.

really stopped collecting anything other than Model A related stuff a few years back, but the right find could always reverse that trend. :p

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

Love metal detecting, outhouse digging (old ones not new ones) for bottles, working on most anything mechanical and working in my machine shop at home. They are not a hobby, but I also love the kids on my school bus route.

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

I have been collecting model Texaco Trucks. Texaco started this once a year issue 28 years ago, I have all 27 of the previous issues, #28 is on order. They are getting harder to come by now that Texaco merged with Chevron and there are no Texaco stations anywhere I live or visit anymore.

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

You told us how many Corvettes, how many grandkids, or did you lose count? Maybe I could adopt one to scratch my dog's back, ride in the grumble seat, and test my cookin'
He's a Rat Terrier and knows the firing ORDER of my '29 coupe,"VERMIN."

I write novels that no one but me will publish, and I spent seventeen years learning how to make black and white Anasazi pots. Bet nobody else does that!

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

All things related to cars, not only model A's. I have a 1929 Durant, 4 Model A's, a 1929 DeSoto, a warmed over 6pack Charger. Then there's the garden, and plastic models of not only cars, but planes that the RAAF operated. I play golf, well not really play, but more walk a lot chasing a white ball as well as cycle.

Re: What Other Hobbies & Interests Do You Have?
 

I use to play a lot of golf but found it interfered with my Model A projects. Frankly, I do not need any other things, I love the A's and have felt this way since 1962. At 83 do not think I will try to get involved with any thing else but Model A's and will enjoy until the day I depart this world.

Trains, model trains, pocket knives, ANY OLD TOOLS, air cooled VWs, clocks and looking at healthy women. 8^}
