Please, if you have pictures of your hobby works, please share them. Cool input so far thanks for sharing.
Kind of hard to post a bunch of pics I won't bore everybody but here is a few pics of my play room. It was a life long dream of mine to have a shop, 6 years ago I finnaly built. It's a 40 x 50 with 16' walls. All wired with 220, 2 welders, mig and arc lots of tools very well equipped room. I have it sort of sectioned off into wood working area, mechanical in the middle and fishing related on the far side. When I'm not at work or in the yard which is all winter I pretty much live in my shop.
And a couple pics of the latest project on the stand, my 350 SBC will boast 400 + HP when it hits the dyno.

My life is pretty stuck on anything fish, Fishy...FISHING? My main hobby is fishing, my second hobby is making tackle for fishing and I work in retail selling you guessed it - FISHING STUFF! Ha, LOL.
I pretty much eat, sleep, dream and play fishing. My life is fishing.
So, I really only have one thing that I will call a hobby that is entirely, for the moment outside of the realm of fishing, and that is EBikes and bicycle riding. I have started venturing into something else, but I'll share that a little later on some time in the future.
I have always been into riding bicycles ever since my 5 yr birthday when I learned to ride on a brand new Mustang brand bike. I loved that bike. I have had so many types, styles and brands since that it's not even funny. 10 speed, BMX, Cruiser, MTB, Road, Tadpole recumbent touring trikes. I have raced and park ridden BMX, got into MTB offroad challenges and then got injured at construction work. One year I crushed my lower two vertebrae and lost all ambition to ride for almost ten years. I got fat and lazy. Then got a Cruiser and started riding again, then a MTB and started riding to work from Nanaimo to Praksville in the summer. I lost a bit of weight but always seem to stay around the same as I am now. Winter came, I road a few times to work in rain, wind and snow, but man it was cold. There had to be a better way. So, I bought a Catrike tadpole recumbent trike thinking it would be a good investment for the future.
...then came a sudden interest in Ebikes and a light bulb went off. I did my research and then converted my conventional peddle powered trike into an E-trike. I was one of the first on the internet to do this. At the time there was lots of regular bikes and MTB bikes being converted, but only two other people besides me that published about it that I could find. Now there have been thousands converted and even production models as well. It was a fun project that soon became the bane and obsession with E powered things related to transportation. So, because I enjoy riding so much I have a number of bicycle conversion projects on the go.
I won't go into further detail, but I'll drop some photos that will help you visualize my obsession that sits outside the realm of fishing.
What's yours?!
