Any Guys Do Any Crafts Or Anything?

Back at the farm I used to do some amateur blacksmithing. I was never very good but I was still learning. I had a stick welder for awhile and got into playing with that but they sold it or traded it or something so I never had the chance to get any good with it.

I always loved fixing engines and making weird electronic stuff from old junk I'd find. I really liked making furniture out of old wood like pallets and wood spools. It's something I really miss.

Anyway anyone here do anything like that?

 

Basket weaving.

 

Did it once out of plastic grocery bags. There is a certain meditative quality to it's mindlessness, but it's not for me.

 

I built a computer memory from scratch using regular copper wires, wood cuts, and binary switches, if that counts as "Crafts".

 

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not.

 

Not kidding. It's pretty antiquated though. Something you might see from the 1930s-1940s.

 

Good topic.
I enjoy designing jewelry as a hobby or craft. I draw and doodle, then mockup rings, necklaces, and belly button charms.
I buy my own diamonds and opals.
I give my art and mockups to my trustworthy jeweler of 20+ years. In a few weeks/month he makes and finishes my vision.
My wife only owns and wears jewelry I've had made for her. Nothing is store bought or window shopped. All my pieces are one-of-a-kind like her, and she loves it that way.

 

Do any sand casting? I hear regular sand is Ok but a good blend is invaluable.

Also I need A crappy uncut rock.

 

Sure! Lots of guys are into world of warcraft.

 

Crafts are for girls ........ or guys raised by girls.
Unless you include building a log cabin with an axe as a craft.0\

Does casting my own bullets count as a craft?

 

I had to read that twice

 

IKR. All the uncut ones are crappy.

 

I'm not a guy but I like to arts and craft.

At the moment I am making my own bath bombs. I'll use them as Xmas gifts because I seem to buy bath stuff for folks, figure I'd just make them instead.

I also like to paint and puzzles and make stuff like rabbit pens and fences and just some random things I enjoy really.

 

 

Yeah, I've experimented a little using sand, clay, and old motor oil. I thought I could make some money making jewelry out of brass. It was a complete failure on my part. But wouldn't mind giving it another shot.

 

I have a small pottery shop at the moment. I think crafts are a creative outlet. I have done stained glass, welding, and cutting for metal art, made dreamcatchers, native American flutes, created two games, like the woodshop but have not gotten in there lately. built a greenhouse so making things for it is my craft and gardening is creative. I like building things of wood Can you call a 3000 ft home a craft project??
