Sorry Andy I meant with wood but unfortunately I don't do much in the winter as I have no workshop and it is kind of hard to do in the cold and snow. :-)) Neil

aah but thats the americans for you all mouth and no trousers or is that taste

Len, where do you fish? (I used to do model boats - RC electric)

Watercolour painting, model boats(sailing type 18th c types) Fishing sea and fresh, and my allotment. Who has time for work?????? Len

Yes Angela, on discovery "American Chopper". Some very skilled metalworking, shame they don't put it to use making a proper motorbike!

have you watched american hotrodthey do one with bikes as well i think its called american hogs

Neil, building things? bricks and that? Sounds like work! But I do like getting out in my workshop hacking, bashing and doing things with metal - mostly on the old bikes I restore. I've collected lots of kit over the years, now I can turn, mill, weld, braze, spray paint, almost anything I need I can make!

Hi andy. I love Photography, watercolour painting and building things. :-) Neil

hi i am trying to learn to play the guitar I think ive just played mull of kintyre

No. I like reading - sometimes about family history! I like listening to all sorts of music. I like walking very much, in the countryside and by the sea. I like learning languages. I like going on holiday and swimming in the warm sunshine. I like watching football. Joy (red 'n' blue)

you should give it a try julie anne, start with a small one, and if you enjoy it, then buy bigger. its a great feeling of satisfaction when you see the finished product, knowing you made it.

Marion, I started with photography when I was a teenager in the sixties. I also love walking, last Feb we climbed Helvelyn as far as Red Tarn. Unfortunately my hip has given up the ghost and I'm now waiting for a tin one, but when that's done I hope to get back to walking.

id love to make rugs, i did a hairdressing course when i was 18 (sooo long ago) part of the course was wig making, loved doing the knotting also my dads mum used to knit and when he was a kid she knitted a stair carpet , he said it lasted well, must be in me genes

julie anne, i usually buy mine from John Lewis, they have a good range of designs. they range in price from about £10 to anything upto about £50, depending on what design you want, mine are animals.

Mine is embroidery,,,cooking and making and furnishing a dolls house,, If i go anywhere to do resech i always manage to find a sewing sho or one thats sells miniture stuff for the wee house,,

i like knitting but cant find time to do it, cant concentrate, id love to do latch hook, that sounds good, where did you get the kit tracey

andy, latch hook, is making rugs from kits, with lengths of wool, using a pattern. lol

hi my other hobby is looking after my horse's, although it was'nt much injoyment for me today, as both my shetlands planned an escape route through the fence, down the lane to the next available grazing plot !!!. along side family history, i have no more time for any more. julie.

That sounds very challenging Andy! but what a great feeling when its framed and somone else really likes it too! I stick to more etheral subjects like tres, mist ,rain and skies, harder for people tp say "thats not right -the window should be on the left " I hate that kind of comment! Joan

Tracy, what's latch hook?
