Does Anyone Have Any Other Hobbies Other Than Falling Timber and Working on Saws?

Are you interested in a '52 Packard 200 that won't break the bank?

pm me the details. I can't commit to much right now as I am moving and funds are being diverted to that venture for the moment.
 
I read a lot. I'm a bit of a book collecter, history and ww2. Also old bottles and a few old cameras.

Anything old, saws included.

How about approximately 525 old Coke bottles from about 185 different cities? If you guys keep this up I am bound to sell something!

If you want full ones, I have those too (these are Jeff Gordon Coke bottles).

I come across some good old pop bottles when tearing out old fence lines. Especially along the road when they were thrown from vehicles back in the day. I keep them when I find them.

I found a cool old green one the other day. Shaped like a jar and still had a lid. it says water on one side and juice on the other. The words are formed into the glass.

If you are ever in St.Albert, Alberta Canada Look up a guy named Barry Schula. He was (gotta be retired by now) a math teacher. He has Coke bottles and cans from the whole world. Thousands. He had every country possible back then so I can only imagine how many now.
 
I build AK's.

About 10 years ago got involved with some other guys and Gunco resulted. I'm impressed that so many here are into the shooting sports.:cheers:

I just came back from the Middle School registration of my youngest 2. They can take up a little time too!

Very cool site you've got there. There is just something about shooting AK's that makes me smile. Maybe it's the fact that they just work every time I pull the trigger, no matter what ammo is in the mag, or how long it's been since I've cleaned it.

Here's a pic of my favorite. I went the other way with this one, and changed over all the furnature to black. The bipod has spring suspension that makes this rifle a bump-fire machine while shooting from the bench off my shoulder!

Nice collection! Love the FAL's and the AUG! My FAL is a great rifle to shoot. The adjustable gas system makes collecting my brass for reloading an easy task!
 
I work on chainsaws for a living, I race chainsaws as a hobby, and dream about chainsaws when I'm not doing the prior two things.

Well, Saw Dr., and other enquiring folk, that there is a racing bed, Stihl-themed. Kinda like those fancy theme bikes OCC builds....pic of other racing beds as well as the full and rear view of the Stihl racing bed. Race held at the Edinburg, Va. Ole Time Festival in Sept.
 
OK, I risk getting my "man card" revoked

Here is my other hobby. My very clean Conn 642 theater organ. She will reside in my sunroom until I find a 3-manual organ with a 32 note pedalboard. (or a Hammond RT/D-100) This one is from 1969, and first generation without vacuum tubes. You need to be a hobbyist to own these now. There is virtually nobody living that can/will repair them. Catching CAD with organs is really not an option unless you have a warehouse somewhere.

......And NO, I am not g@y.

and I'm not either!!....We had an older Conn reed organ similar to that...do you have a B-3 Hammond w/ Leslie by chance?

Would it be an insult or a compliment if I said that there is some serious redneckery going on there? Probably lots of fun though. How fast does a bed/bike go? Do they have brakes?

No B-3 yet. I found one on CL not too long ago for $500 (worth about 20x that price) but I didn't get there fast enough. I have a Hammond Concorde that will be donated to our church when I get the electronics sorted on it. Right now work is very busy, so it could be a while.

No insult at all, us Shenandoah Valley rednecks are the best that money can buy. Here's how the bed race works; push start (by othere) at the top of the hill, roll down unpowered, get clocked on a radar gun by town cop, best speed wins, usually 3-4 runs made, look it up on you-tube under Edinburg Bed race, my wife put up a few videos there...my beds have no brakes, some do, the winner's speed around 24 mph.
 
I own a company that makes O Scale ceilingtrains. I fab and weld them up from sq tubing. There seems to be lots of people with grampas old Lionel train. I also have a machine shop as well as my weld shop...Bob
