Once this mess clears up, joining a makerspace may be worthwhile. Being part of a team spending money on toys means you can afford more toys than as an individual.

Hobbies? What keeps you sane?

Not a bad idea. A co-worker who has a FDM printer helped me out by making the eyepieces for this.

What part of NS are you moving to?
I am quite happy being oblivious to some hobbies that people may have. Admire the craftsmanship, ignore the potential function.No one is going to say it?
You might be surprised at some of the creative uses people have found for chainmail. Then again you might not. I stay out of that area of the chainmailing forum
Just teasing Rob. On a serious note, on one vacation I came across a woman who made handbags and various things from woven can ring pulls. I wish I had a picture of them because the first thing I thought when I saw them was that they looked just like chainmail but at a fraction of the weight.
Ahh, it’s actually a thing..

May 23, 2011 - Recycle Soda Pop Tabs Into Chain Mail: My grandson Zachery is really into Dragons, Knights, Renaissance and the like and I really wanted to make him something special so I thought up this idea using soda can pull tabs. I made this nifty chain mail shirt for him that he loves. He...

It never hurts to throw it out there. It looks like you’re making a quality product and while I probably wouldn’t wear it regularly just based on my style I would definitely consider buying one. I also don’t expect anything of value for next to free and appreciate quality craftsmanship.

Likewise. I saw a beautiful leather cap my old boss had. I want one. But can’t find it as he bought it in Ghana and no longer travels there.

Pics of the bread?? What ingredients?
You have your "eyes wide shut", so to speak...
I can attest to that. 14 years of accumulation before we sold/gave away/threw out everything.
It was pretty cathartic paring down like that.
The trick is not to get back into accumulation mode when you land again.
The flip-side to the above is my buddy who bought a larger house because he ran out of room in his old place. When I was helping him move, I carried so many unopened cardboard boxes labelled: "Stuff from <<address from two houses before>> and "1998 Stuff" "2005 Stuff"...
If he had thrown out stuff he hadn't looked at in over 20 years, he wouldn't have had to move. He was basically just buying a bigger storage unit.
After 9 years of crap in the last house, I try to do a room a year in this house. Everything out, clean, put stuff back in that is used. It's not perfect but it fixes the issue of things building up in the backs of closets.
I found a secret storage room in my house yesterday. I dropped soffit to get into a gable with no other access and for whatever reason there is a floor in the space. You have to access through the soffit so it isn't convenient but if I decide it's useful, I could put an access hatch in from a bedroom.
My retired buddy cleans out defaulted rental storage units . 95% of the time its just dumpster crap. And somebody paid $200 a month, for years .
I'd like to buy a small milling machine, about 1/2 way between a "model makers toy" and a real one. I have about zero actual need for it, but that's not the point is it .

Focaccia. Yeast, water, EVOO, semolina, rosemary, table salt, bread flour, kosher salt. From start to "Let's eat" is about 2 1/2 hours but most of that is rise and rest times.
