What's one hobby you’d love to start if time and money weren’t an issue?

I would love to take up Sculpting. Either clay or stone. I think that looks really fun, and I love seeing what people have done and how long they last.

  • At first I was thinking about something like 3D printing. The printers can be pricey, and knowing how to create or adjust the 3D model files is a definite skill that takes time to learn. Even 3D modeling in general would be fun to learn, if I had the time to do so. Every year or so I'll reinstall Blender and try and go through that famous donut tutorial, but I'll always get to some stopping point, save my file and tell myself "Okay, let's finish this later" and then completely forget about it or never have time 😛

      I bought a used 3D printer and could not get it to work.  Hate to say it looked like poop!  It is definitely takes time to learn.

    Molecular gastronomy.  I love to cook, but putting food into different form factors is something I've wanted to experiment with - requires a lot of skill, time, and equipment.

    Lego...

    I like to build and let my imagination go wild. Lego also discovered that the children from 25-30 years ago are now adults, so Lego packs have become expensive but oh so nice. My latest  Addition is the avengers tower 🙂

      I have a Razor Crest, the Mandalorians ship, that I'm super proud of.

  • Most of the team here enjoy playing basketball, riding (mountain / gravel / road), wake-boarding, looking after goats (is this a hobby?) and building ML models in the spare time (yeah, seriously - in the right industry I guess).

    I sent out a poll, and the majority of the team would love more time to do gardening and take care of plants.

     

  • Even though I already alpine ski, it would be something I would do much more if I did not have to worry about the money aspect. I love to travel, and being able to ski wherever I want in the world (Alps, Rockies, Patagonia) would be awesome.

      I used to ski, but I have freakishly flexible hips, like I can rotate my legs about 110 degrees outward so they are pointing behind me. Great for getting out of theatre or airplane aisles, less so for skiing. I tried snowboarding once but haven't had a chance to try again, and now I'm too old and it would break me.

  • Book collecting and book restoration/binding. 
    My dream is to cover all of my favorite books with the classic looks of older books:)

      That would be super fun! Maybe we could mix in one of my other dream hobbies, leatherworking!

    I took a glass blowing class and it was a lot of fun.  It is fun to shape into what you want.

        You have to be able to get really hot!!  That was hard for me, so I stopped abruptly causing my bowl to be shaped a bit different.  But let's call it art!
