Your Hobbies Besides Collecting Coins

Glass Insulator collector/dealer (one display of three inside):



Also old hand tool restoration.






Woodworking, metal working, & reloading.

Thanks. It seems most tool collectors do not mind restoration unless its a really rare piece. I love the looks of the wood handles with metal tools...but they were impractical. Many of the handles loosened up or caused gaps b/c metal and wood expand, contract and wear at different rates.

The huge C-clamp was a design error from the company. The length of the bolt meant anything trying to be clamped made the bolt shift sideways and bend. I had a friend use a 20 ton press to straighten the bolt out from its many bends.

Count me in on the Lego hobbyists

@Mike 33:

Awesome stuff here.

For me: too many hobbies; paycheck too small; day not long enough.

Guitar, LEGO, woodworking, stamps, baseball cards, Hard Rock Pins, cycling...I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

My main hobbies outside of coin collecting are fly fishing, book collecting/scouting (really looking forward to getting back to doing this again in a few weeks now that I've had my first vaccine dose), rock hounding, amateur paleontology, and my research in discrete math and algorithms.

One of my better scouting finds: Picasso and The Human Comedy with original lithographs by Picasso - value ~$2000 (paid $20 at a library sale).

I love computer programming (mainly websites), linguistics, conlanging (creating languages), music production, and some more which I'm too self conscious to share :)
