Video games are losing their enjoyment for me when I have time to kill. I'm either depressed or maturing. I'd like to try a new hobby first and see what happens.

This is a great idea--and I can personally tell you that it can also be very lucrative. Working in the world of jewelry and watches--I can tell you firsthand that lots of watch collectors pay big money for custom made leather watch straps (my use of the word "leather" would include exotics such as lizard, croc, gator..etc). Many collectors like saying they own something that is "one of one'--and custom watch straps are a way that they can achieve this. There are people that have become specialists in creating these straps out of leather that are making good money selling these to collectors. It could end up being a hobby that turns into a very solid side business for you.

Radio Control Boats - I've made this kit, this kit and this kit and its a lot of fun. It involves many aspects of woodworking. Sanding, staining, fiber-glassing and more. I do boats instead of cars and planes because cars and planes can crash, ruining all the work. Boat kits tend to be very detailed and its pretty relaxing going to the pool or pond and driving the boats around. They also make incredible display pieces in the house.

Agree. I would say making mead. Low start up and easier than beer.Godsbrother said:

Unless somebody figures out a way to add more hours in a day, I can't make time for myself.
18 year old daughter attending local college (she doesn't eat up my free time, just all my money)
15 year old freshman daughter playing high school basketball & travel softball (of which I'm the head coach)
14 year old 8th grade daughter playing middle school volleyball
11 year old 5th grade daughter playing Saturday basketball, volleyball and travel softball
I think I have a free week in May sometime.. I'll have to find something to do for that week...

How/where exactly would one get a start in this kind of craft?jvdesigns2002 said:

All the talk about making your own alcohol got me thinking since I'm not a drinker but I do like to smoke weed. I grew weed for a few years and enjoyed that. I can see myself doing that once I get back into it.

drinking/collecting was my initial thought.
if you have the ways and means of a FBG, then growing/making could be a possibility.

I'm actually really interested in this. If you ever come back through Portland, I'd be up for a game.Reg Lllama of Brixton said:

Someone here has a small vineyard. Can't remember who.
We drink nearly a case a week, so we stick to the ones in the $10-$15 range. I've thought about collecting but I'm not sure how long they'd last and it would defeat the purpose.

collecting comes in various forms in my experience: i've got friends with 2000 bottle cellars and who are on every "cult wine" mailing list you can name; and i've got other friends who dabble here and there, picking up interesting bottles from lesser known growing regions and varietals.
personally, i'm more into learning** about wine in general, i..e. winemaking practices, how the industry functions, where to find good values, etc., and of course that involves drinking.
(** i work in the industry, so it's a little different i guess)
Got this book: The Leatherworking Handbook by Valerie Michael
Watched a whole bunch of youtube videos...primarily from Armitage Leather
Going to attend some classes at a local leather store https://www.tandyleather.com/en/leathercraft-classes

I love learning about the wines and the process as well. What do you do in the industry?
I'm a big fan of the website lastbottlewines.com I get some good deals there.

I play bagpipes. Cheap price of entry until you decide to buy your pipes. Relatively easy to learn too.
