I too like wood working. A guy in town sells wood from his sawmill. I have all the wood tools to turn ruff wood into a china cabinet, tables, headboards, preacher's bench, and what ever my son and daugher dreams up.
I like making things out of metal too. Have welders, tourches, large metal bandsaw, cutoff saws, brake, lathe, press, Like to make things I can't buy. Biggest metal project was a 4640 pound 5 ft lawn roller made from a 500 gal oil drum, concrete lined. Couldn't buy one, does a great job of rolling lawn.
Like working on tractors too. Always loved turning wrenches and taking things apart. It's the putting things back together that was some times a challenge. When I was younger, I would overhaul my car and truck engines. Too old for that.
When younger, I wanted to learn how to do body work. Learned what the work part of body work really is. So, all my tractors get nice a coat of lipstick. Had to fab metal parts on my last tractor
My favorite hobby is tractor therapy. Favorite tractor is my terramite backhoe. Wish I could play with my tractors everyday.
Been retired 9 years and everything I do is my hobby. When I was younger, I played carpenter and took 5 years to double the size of my house and make a new house out of the old one. Too old to play carpenter.
I would say another hobby is finding a tool that I don't have and then come up with a reason to buy it.
