I make a lot of things. But I have a hobby machine shop. You will have to look at my website to see it all. www.huntfishsupply.com I make fish gigs, gator hunting equipment , pier gaffs, bridge gaffs, drag hooks, bangsticks. ( Don't want any business ) Some of the folks on tv series swamp people use a few of my things. I retired from doing alligators and wildlife control and just had to keep involved with what I use to do just for myself and a few others. I am slowly trying to back out of doing much of it and get motivated to go detecting. I have bought several detectors and haven't went hardly at all. I bought a new AT a couple years ago that hasn't been outside yet. Soon maybe. I hope I hope

Cool, oscillating cylinder engine, I made one when I was in machine shop way back when, I scaled mine up quite a bit. I left it at the school, bolted to a bench and it would run on compressed air when they had open house. Sadly that school no longer offers that course. I went to work in machines shops for 20 years.

A COOL thread, and some really nice stuff.
I used to flies (a lot of flies), took a pic of a couple that I kept. one of the classic feather wings salmon flies took me quite a while to make.
Made a quite a bit of furniture, the pine table with the painted on names if for a camp.
And probably my biggest project was a couple of cedarstrip canoes.

Schweet! I may do some wood in the future if things go that way, it must be very satisfying to put out nice pieces like those Mate. 
It'd be weird to work with something that is not dimensionally stable....but you can sand & finish it, seems that would be pretty Zen. Chris

I collect daguerreotypes. Occasionally ambrotypes and maybe a tintype if it's really good. Typically the cases they used to come in are pretty beat up. I decided to make custom replacement cases for them. They run about 2 x 3 to 3 x 4 and 1/2 thick. I still have about 70 to do. Pretty tight work and I still haven't figured out the hinges yet (hence the blue tape). They look pretty much like this in walnut, cherry, maple, and some exotics usually in 1/8th inch stock.
I've been MDing on and off for a few years but this one of 2 other passions of mine. I compete at local and regional shows and have even taken awards at the National convention. I have had my work displayed in magazines and currently have a few pieces in museums.

Here are a few from my family. My parents had passed away before I found them so I don't know who they are.
