You're a pretty good artist Nick.
:thumbup
In fact I'm very impressed with some of the things the rest of you do. Even making empty beer cans :-)

I like astronomy.
Today I visited ESA's Deep Space Antenna 2. It communicates with deep space probes and satellites. Awesome:

Like a couple on here, my hobby turned into a business.
At 44 years of age and at the end of a fairly long relationship, in 2001, i put in for a grant and set up an Audio/Visual production studio.
Then in 2004, i incorporated a music publishing company and two independent record labels, releasing just over 30 albums.
In 2008, i put the labels on hold and concentrated more on corporate work, which was much less stressful than dealing with the prima donna's in the music industry.
A lot of my work now, involves transferring vinyl to cd and vhs to dvd, plus i've been supplying weekly podcasts to a company in Switzerland for the last five years.

I'm sure I'll pick up more hobbies as life progresses but primarily its mechanics (both car and bike) and then gaming... yeah yeah yeah, I know... PC is my weapon of choice - I own consoles but use them so rarely I often forget they exist
Re: Got any other hobbies? - bluefaze - 29-10-13
Bloody hell, you lot make my hobbies seem so boring, and wot a lot of talented foccers you are.
Apart from my fazer I do a bit of fly fishing, tie flies, just joined a shooting club, .22 and .38s until I get through the full bore course. I have just bought a DSLR, wish I could take photies like KK or Tori, can't use the thing yet. :lol

Getting back into me fire gubbins again after a wee break.
Juggling, Diablo, Poi and a wee bit eating & breathing, more fun now it's darker earlier and I can scare the neighbours with the jets of flame over the wall.

Re: Got any other hobbies? - mickvp - 29-10-13
between working 40+hours a week, and going to Uni, hobbies are more or less a thing of the past for me
Used to enjoy a wee bit of guitar, and own an xbox which never sees the light of day these days either.And for someone who only "dabbles" in guitar, I seem to have ammased far too many. I have 5 or 6 now. including these two, which I use the most (excuse the fingerprints :o):
My Takamine Acoustic

My Ibanez RG

really need to get round to selling the Ibanez. it rarely comes out to play these days either...shame really.
Re: Got any other hobbies? - nick crisp - 29-10-13
Heh, that's 3 of us playing Takamines Mick - you, me and Exup. Although Exup reckons mine is orrible to play :lol Doesn't help that the strings are like rusty barbed wire..... :rolleyes
Re: Got any other hobbies? - mickvp - 29-10-13
yeah exup showed me his the other night (ooooh errrrrr), come on then. get the pics oot!
i hate when the strings start to go like that. you can stop that happening for a while by wiping the strings down when your finished playing. stops the sweat building up so much and rusting them
Re: Got any other hobbies? - nick crisp - 29-10-13
Yeah, I usually use that Fastfret stuff. It's just that when Exup tried it, I hadn't played it in some months. Got some new strings knocking around in a drawer somewhere. Well, mine isn't a really expensive one, a mate of mine had one and when I sold my Guild (was good for blues, but not very "bright" for other stuff) I liked how his sounded.
Re: Got any other hobbies? - mickvp - 29-10-13
very nice
Liking the natural wood look.

Big fat sound. Brilliant pre-amp. A grand well spent. Imported it from USA coz u can only get this one in Matt and without the bling or the Finnish in the uk. I fink the mother of pearl looks wicked and soon as I saw it i wired the cash and bought a hard case aswell so it wouldn't get focced up by some low paid spotty baggage handler nob. I also have a hofner which i use for slide.
Re: Got any other hobbies? - mickvp - 29-10-13
ha! I bought mines in Canada on holiday as well (cheaper, plus as you say, hard to get one over here with the MOP inlay, although I only got 1 inlay), and took it back home as normal luggage :lol
