What's your talent? - Lapchik - 11-10-2013 09:31 PM

Motorcycles are obviously a hobby of us all, but what else does everyone do?

I am a self-taught metal worker. I build scrap/reclaimed metal sculptures, air cannons, motorcycle accessories, trailers, furniture, etc. the list goes on. Some of my projects:

Corey, since a GPS doesn't make a lot of sense - what are you planning to mount with that ram ball on the jewelry box? Not a farkle bar I hope. Post a photo when you have it finished, it will be interesting to see how it comes out. Interesting stuff.

Had to make something nice for them so they can be stored somewhere besides the vise that they are currently in.

What's my Talent?

I can eat an entire peanut butter and jelly sammich in one bite!

Just don't ask me to chew with my mouth closed and pass the milk! Smile

RE: What's your talent? - propforward - 02-14-2014 07:55 AM

I sometimes make working model steam engines.

It's a fairly new hobby. I wouldn't say I'm especially good at it, but so far so good.

I'm enjoying working with machine tools anyway. Plus that should mean I can make stuff for my bikes.

Not sure what though.

Maybe a big deer guard for the front or something.
