This is actually a thing?Northeast regional midget throwing champion
Quite a few hobbies. I love to fish, play video games and my newest hobbies is building quadcopters.

Very cool..do you build them from scratch?
Love to see some rock climbing pics!!
Just making conversation and was genuinely curious what else do you all do when NOT playing with RC cars??
I have two kids and wonderful lady at home and so when my time isn't consumed by the family or work and when I make time for myself that isn't RC related, I find myself in the wood shop making various projects that have come to mind.
A few years back I got into luthier work and have been traveling down that road for a while now. Currently I am working on 4 Ukuleles with no plans to stop...why would I need so many Ukes you ask, well I don't, so I tend to have a few laying around and then give/sell them when an opportunity arrises.
Some current shop pics of the Ukes in various stages and some finished.

You guys have more time and money than me, it appears. I have a small gardening project going currently, but due to some Federal Laws, I will let you figure out what I'm growing. I do as much fishing as I can. See Avatar.... From Halibut to yellow tail to blue gill or crappie in the lake, if it swims I want to catch it, and most likely eat it. I did not eat the leopard shark in the avatar pic. She was a fully mature reproductive female, so she got to go back. Was really torn on that one. I had never caught a keeper (36 inches) and have wanted one for a few years. This thing comes up at over 60 inches and I threw her back. Had it been a male, he would have seen how sharp a 20 year old fillet knife is. I'm sure I have more $$$ into my fishing gear than I do my RC gear. I also coach my kids' softball and baseball teams. And then I do what ever I can to keep the wife happy enough to let me play with RCs and fish.
Just as food for thought. If you had a really cool looking cigar box, you could make a sweet cigar box uke. especially since you have the neck work down.
It’s actually a thing, yes. But I’m just bullshitting about me being a part of it
. I have a small gardening project going currently, but due to some Federal Laws, I will let you figure out what I'm growing. .
You know, maybe down the line, I will make one for fun, but I am a total sucker when it comes to taking a billet of wood and creating something from it!!
All of my uke parts are made from blocks/billets of wood and aren't pre-made parts. The only parts I buy pre-made and don't make myself are the tuners, fret wire and strings. I make all my own lining, purfling, bindings, fret boards, necks, bracing, shape my own nut and saddles (out of bovine bone) and more recently my own fretboard markers and inlays (out of abalone and oyster shells).
I get a lot of satisfaction making something that sounds as beautiful as it looks!!
Was just asked to build 5 more on top of my current projects now, so I have/will be pretty busy in the shop all summer!!
Love to see some rock climbing pics!!
Very cool!! I have always wanted to get into rock climbing, but never have done anything like that, just the fake walls and maybe some small scrambles during hikes.easy route
Dude that's pretty amazing stuff!easy route
