Right now it’s blacksmithing. I just bought a forge and anvil and have been watching Black Bear Forge.
A perennial favorite is 3D printing, I’ve followed news and videos about that since the RepRap project.
I watch a few music and electronics channels, I got a circuit board from Look Mum no Computer to build a synthesizer and learn soldering.
Rockhounding, like Michigan Rocks, my friend and I have been getting into looking for rocks on beaches.
For a period in my mid 30’s I tried Skateboarding and longboarding and watched a lot of that.
I used to watch a lot of disc golf, carpentry, RC and cooking.
I really just like knowing how to do a little bit of everything.
Jimmy Diresta is my role model, creative Jack of All Trades. He’s living my dream life just collecting skills and making cool shit.
Ha! I loved back bear forge during my year of blacksmithing obsession!
He’s a really good teacher and super talented.
He’s also calm which I appreciate. I don’t like being yelled at from the screen.
