sumdawgtwigg Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 My high school had and still has one of the biggest woodshop programs on the east coast. The things those kids churn out are amazing. Every year you get a few high quality pool tables, amazing hand carved 4 post canopy beds, and some great other furniture. It's useful, just a pain to get access to the tools if you're trying to do it at home.edit:My hobbies:Video games (sports, shooters, rpg's)Reading (fantasy, some sci fi)Lifting Heavy ShitThinking of taking up kick boxingI'm also into lifting heavy shit Quote "It's always the ones that don't do anything that try to bring you down" - Henry Rollins "There is no meantime, there is only now" - The Ditty Bops Trail Blazing Elf Ranger Sumdawgtwigg Level 3 STR-3 DEX-4 STA-4 CON-3 WIS-5 CHA-2 Fitocracy My Game Blog DO IT CHALLENGE!

Sloth the Enduring Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Power tools are pretty awesome, I can't imagine anyone not liking them. Haha, but yeah most of the girls I know think it's really weird.My hobby is collecting old (non-power) woodworking tools, fixing them up, and occasionally using them to build stuff. I also mountain bike, hike, and camp. Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

My dads a carpenter so I've been around stuff like that my whole life.

'Roos Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Swing dance - the perfect blend of nerd, physical activity, and socializing Horse riding - chess, a psychological evaluation, pilates and dance performance all in one! Sewing - I do a lot of it to get just the clothes I want. Also a lot of period costuming. Cooking! I LOVE ME SOME COOKING! Healthy, unhealthy, for me, for you, whatever. Reading - self explanatory Computer games - when I don't feel like doing anything productive. Quote Link to comment

I really want to get into mountain biking. Or mountain bike + hiking together? I'm planning a trip where I mountain bike to the mountain, store my bike at the hike, climb up the mountain, climb down, bike home.

I'm planning a trip where I mountain bike to the mountain, store my bike at the hike, climb up the mountain, climb down, bike home. That sounds AMAZING! I think I will also have to give this a try! Maybe bike in a little ways, store bike, hike to a campsite, stay overnite, then back out to the bike, and finally home.

sumdawgtwigg Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I would love to stay out in the forest for about a week. I've only been for a few nights at a time but I think it would be a great thing. I think you'd come back out a little different then you went in even in such a short period of time.

Guest guest4729 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 For me I have just a few that I really enjoy: Photography has always been a favorite of mine but I haven't taken many pictures the past year Photoshop/Graphic Design has been a favorite since I was 12 and I taught myself how to use Photoshop 7. I make bangin' posters. Knitting - I knit here and there, but only make scarfs because I don't love it enough to learn to do more just yet. Working...I know, I know, this sounds odd. I really enjoy working because I hate having too much free time. I like to help people and I like to get up and move and do things, especially if I'm making money while doing it. Reading was always something I loved but since I'm in college most of my reading consists of textbooks. I did; however, read 30+ books during the last 6 months of my senior year in high school. Drinking and partying (in moderation, normally once a week if that) DDR - I love love love this but it's expensive and there are no machines near me that are good. Participating in a local community that's probably a little too taboo to mention on here. And last but not least...spending time with my friends and my boyfriend. Quote Link to comment

mcdrew Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've started playing the didgeridoo! My circular breathing is good and it's only Day 3. I can drone until my cheeks get sore! I can also do the dingo noise.. Pro The end Quote Link to comment
