Got a hobby or sport that you love?
Got a hobby or sport that you love?
post it up, maybe we have something in common... I'll get things started, one of the things I like to do with my kids is riding our Sea-Doos out on the lakes. We love getting out on the water, always gives me a chance to reflect on God and His many blessings. It's good clean fun too; these crazy things are a blast; 215 horsepower supercharged engines, 0-60 in about 5 or 6 seconds, they top out at nearly 70 mph... here are a couple of shots of my son having some fun in the sun... |

My main hobby of the last 5 or 6 years in duplicating Plains Indians artifacts. I made my own bow and make my own arrows. I make knives, warclubs, spears, that type thing, mostly I reproduce items they used in day to day life. I made my own set of bone needles and sew with animal sinew. Raw materials can be found at Moscow Hide and Furs and Eidenes Furs, both in Idaho. What people spend for one bottle of whiskey I can keep myself in bones and feathers and beads for six months. One you get into the groove of the American Indian's technology and craftsmanship, it can be a fascinating and satisfying hobby. We have concealed carry for handguns in Ohio, I asked a local deputy if you got the permit, did you have to carry a gun? He said he didn't know, what did I want to carry? I told him, a tomahawk, and the look he gave me was what we used to call in high school, "precious". I agree with you, if you have a hobby you enjoy, it's something that can become second nature to you and give you a great deal of time to focus and think. Grace and peace brother Tony |

Brother, I like to create things. God is many things to many people, to me one of the many things is He is a Craftsman. Mom and Dad both were talented at making things, I just learned. I love to reproduce Indian artifacts that were used prior to the mid 1870s when they were confined on reservations. I got tired of merely making things, I like to reproduce things. Many like to make a skinning knife, I like to make a Cheyenne, Arapaho, or Sioux skinning knife from the shoulderblade of a buffalo. I've got one shoulderblade here I been making things from for 4 years, they are about $10-$15 cleaned, around 5 if you get them from a bison farm where they are harvested for meat. It's a cheap hobby too, one that don't take much investment. I'll read the FAQ section here and then post some pictures of my work. Grace and peace brother Tony |

Tony, no worries... we are all human and I just feel we KJV people need to stick together, I have never felt anger at you (yes, I have felt like skinning Bro. Chette once or twice, but I repented). Do post the photos I think everyone would enjoy seeing your craftsmanship.

BroParish,
We would know what your hobbies are if you would of added it to your profile when you joined the forum. well you never did repent of what you did to me nor did you ever say you were sorry for giving me a curse disguised as a blessing in the Kent Hovind update thread James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. but you repented of wanting to skin me. I find that hard to believe. |
