OK Gents,tell me to pull my head in if you think I`m too nosey,but what other hobbies and passtimes do you get up to appart from keeping the great tradition of straight razor shaving alive
For myself I enjoy building and flying remote controlled model aircraft,both powered and gliders it is challenging, but at the same time it has quite a relaxing effect . There is nothing better sitting up on a cliff top with a couple of mates and the obligortory rum and coke piloting the model that you constructed around the skies wind in your face , perfect view etc etc.(unless you crash),thats a bummer
I also enjoy knife making ,fixed blades and also lock back folders. Like many I started doing it for myself beacuse I couldn`t purchase a decent knife at a reasonable price. Then of course family and friends want one and so it goes. We have moved into a new home ,and after 48 years I have purpose built the workshop that I have always wanted.
Target shooting has been one of my enjoyments since I was ten yrs old,both pistol and rifle,however our bloody useless govement is making it harder and harder to enjoy that passtime.
Collecting is another hobby of mine,I collect old tools ,knives (both fixed blade and multi-blade pocket knives) old Australian coins and stamps.
And now ,much to my wifes dissmay, vintage straight razors, within approx three months I now have about seven that I recon are good, I have also chucked out about four cheep and nasties that I aquired before I new any better. I also have a brand new zeepk(bad luck) that has been chucked in the bottom of a draw somewhere ( should I try to sharpen it for use ?)
At the moment my cheese and kisses (ausie for misses) wants a new vegie garden ,(Bloody hell I have already put one in) and the place painted inside and out. Just because I got a new workshop and machinery. I`m starting to think that for the rest of my life I will be reminded of the fact and wont have any time to spend in there, I guess time will tell.
I hope you all have a good day
Kind regards Peter
