discussion Any uncommon hobbies?

floor plan designing in revit. love taking like apartment buildings and figuring out how best to utilizes the space, its a good challenge.

I'm master at utilizing space. My main hobby is book collecting and reading. Books and movies take so much space that I have had to fill my apartment with bookshelves, all extended up to the 240 cm ceiling.. If I don't count shower/sauna my apartment has some 37 square meters space. And I have 36 bookshelves.

Making chainmail jewelry

That's lovely. I have made only couple of those. But I have made chainmail armour to myself so I have plenty of experience at bending/knitting steel wire.

playing LC games

Gardening, Boxing, Bodybuilding. I used to do some very amateurish woodworking, but now I can hardly find the time

I'm trying to do some woodwork too. So far I've done only couple boxes (carved top and front panels) and tea table for myself. The latter was pretty but otherwise bit of a failure as legs for table weren't long enough. I noticed that if I'll put anything heavier on the sides of the table it will topple over. This summer my plan is to make Hlaalu type bench (Elder Scrolls Online type).

Playing the mandolin and using stable defusion to make my own smols.

I throw axes and knives whenever I go hiking and there is a national forest hiking trail about 50 feet from my house so I go for a hike just about every day. I also make chainmaille armor like this Witcher armor I made for a comic con a few years ago.

Playing these kinds of games definitely constitutes as an unusual hobby lmao, though I'm not ashamed of it. I think the weirdest part of humans are what makes us the most interesting ( and usually attractive)

Sounds like a job for a perfectionist!

That looks sick! I used to be into throwing knives a lot actually, I didn't have the knack for it though

Gardening is definitely fun, I do a lot of yard work and construction. I find that I always enjoy yard work more, especially gardening

I feel your pain. I have just under 200 signed books and they more then fill one of my 10 huge bookshelves. I read to much but have slowed down in the last year or 3 and started reading VN's way to much. I still think 2016 was the year I read the most books.

I made for my wife. I made a different one for my mother, but forgot to take pictures of it . I haven't been able to do much recently, because I'm out of work and don't have the rings I need to make new pieces. Hopefully, that'll change soon.

Saw your picture. I was an electrician, so I started fooling around with scrap pieces of copper wire about 30 years ago. Then copper prices went through the roof and contractors cracked down on scrap wire, so I had to stop. Got back into it a couple years ago doing the jewelry. It's very satisfying when you manage to finish an intricate piece.

I've been trying my hand at model creation with Daz & Honey Select to try and make some games of my own. Nothing to show yet (or likely anytime soon)

Thank you for that. I need money to buy the rings and I'm currently out of work. Hopefully that'll change soon.

That's quite good reading speed. I made my record last year with 192 read books. Though I probably read much more than that when I was teenager. Juvenile books were much thinner and I had no computer to keep me busy. But I started keeping notes about my reading only as an adult. Over half of the books that I read last year were also in english, which is second language to me and twice slower to read than my native language.

Got more hobbies than time to practice them. The problem is that unless you dedicate yourself to one specific hobby, you're going to be mediocrate in it. Still fine if the goal is just to have fun or relax tho, but that excludes a lot of competitive stuff.
