Everything I do, all day, every day, from early until late, is a hobby.  The list is too long to type out.  I don't need another "pastime".  Sometimes, I work it out so people pay me for it.

Ahh there might be the difference, I had gone with a really light color almost white.

Welcome, Andrew! As far as woodworking goes, I enjoy building furniture and other little things for my personal use and as gifts for close family and friends.  Outside of woodworking, I enjoy photography and I used to do a lot of biking of various types, but that has gone by the wayside since my kids were born.    Tell us more about the ship kits you build, I know they range from very basic to incredibly complex. Share some pictures of what you have made!

Greetings, Andrew! Glad to have you with us.

Hello, Andrew. My hobby, it seems, is mostly hanging out here and chatting with others about their hobby!  Turning dead trees into useful objects counts, I guess. Occassionally, I enjoy writing stories, too.
