fish_fishburn Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'm going to try my hand a building some custom rods for myself. I will build rods for the nephews and neices at first, then for myself and some buddies when I get the hang of it. Speil I will probably be e-mailing you with some questions if it's okay with you.

The JAY Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I love seeing what folks do, other than fishing, in their spare time; and there are some excellent examples shown! I've got a few hobbies that I've picked up over the years: wine and beer making (that snowballed into me building my own still... 192 proof rum is scary stuff.) guitar and bass playing with my band, airbrushing, custom knife making... This winter I've got a couple of airbrush jobs lined up, and a few knives that I'm wanting to build. Add to that, cleaning up the boat I bought this year, and a few jobs around the house, and I think I'm going to have a busy winter. Here's some examples of some of the things I've done: Custom computer case for a hard core Star Wars fan. Airbrushed goalie mask for the Toronto Rock Lacrosse team. Harley horn cover. Viking Seax re-creation with a Dragon blade etching. Approx 24" long and razor sharp. A little utility knife with African Blackwood scales and a little file work under the thumb for grip. A delicate little Bird and Trout knife. A neck knife for a fly fisherman. Had a one hand, rare earth magnet sheath. A big Camp knife with a bear etching. Bloodwood scales. My first filet knife with Cedar and Maple scales. Thanks for looking, and let's see some more passtimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JAY Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I do love my still... Well, it's mothballed now, but it was fun while it lasted... Maybe I'll see what I can do over the winter with that too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torco Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I;m sure my wife will be on me with the many projects that need to be done around our home. I always sight money as the major obstacle to these projects. Will do a little ice fishing and probably watch a lot of hockey, maybe play a little indoor soccer. Hoping to go on Paternity leave in February so I guess my main thing will be watching my daughter all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbfisher Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Between icefishing,hockey and skiing, there is no spare time but it's all good! Of course there is time in the evenings to make baits for next season but that won't start till this one is done.
