Those are incredible looking! I like how there’s a lot of different variety with how you do them as well
Thanks.
I keep 5-6 basic boxes in stock and encourage people who stop by to go with what they really would like to have.
Many would rather have bigger, different shapes and styles, but were put off by the commercial prices.
I try to keep prices low so they can afford the bigger ones. I'm not looking to make a living doing this, just keeping busy. ( Having some extra $ for corals once in a while doesn't hurt.)

I have become a little more sedentary in the last few years but I am getting back into some of my really happy place hobbies.
Currently I keep and breed a few fresh water fish and shrimp slowly getting away from that.
I play D&D and also DM for a large group of friends 8 people....its a lot if you know what I mean.
I'd like to say I am a gamer but really only play baulders gate 3 and a 1st person shooter that I cant remember the name of. But I dont play that often rn. Too busy building terrain and D&D maps and painting miniatures.
Gun collecting and shooting. Have done 3 gun for years off and on, eyesight isnt what it used to be though getting used to glasses isnt fun...lol
Getting back into shape after years of "stuff". So I can get back into things like
Mountain biking
Obstacle races like Warrior dash, Spartan, and Tough mudder.

Dude you always have great threads. I would say my main hobby is my side business of training and selling high end protection dogs. I also skydive, play piano, snowboard, and a bit of chess!

The pictures of the skydiving are from last week!

I collect Vinyl Records, nothing like sitting back spinning records and watching my reef tank. Being part of the Vinyl Horders Club. Almost as expensive as reefing

That's an impressive collection! Got any personal favorites?

Well I quit drinking and fighting, bail was adding up. So now it's aquariums, I build computers, I game, and I work on imports. It started off as a hobby but now I do it legit, as in I actually have an LLC and pay taxes, stereo and alarm installs. Hilarious story. Kid wanted an install and I quoted him and he came by to drop off the car. He didn't know what I looked like and was like, "Oh yeah, I'm here to see **my name** for a stereo install. Are you her mom?" Oh no kid. Nope I'm the old lady installing your Kenwood and Soundstream.

I also repair and build small voltage motors for custom window coverings. We still mostly buy everything but sometimes a build needs a custom touch. Also, not many people repair a $9,000 custom drapery rod motor, or they have to be sent to France or Germany for repair. That's where I come in. Then I realized since I was doing that maybe I can fix old cars interfaces. Like climate controls, crap like that. So that is what keeps me busy.
