    Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies

    Have any of the men here tried their hand a knitting? I've gotta say it's a very pleasurable winter pastime. Seems to have originated in Scotland/Ireland by the fishermen, something to do when it's too cold to do much else and...you could make yourself a sweater!!!

    Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies

    I thought I had posted something in here, O'le nimble fingers here!! I've been whittling and woodcarving since my grandfather gave me my first pocket knive when I was ten. I've been into Archery since my first wood bow at the age of seven. I've made many of my own bows and all my own wood...

    I'll bet they'd let us slide on the black shoes but never on the white ankle socks I put on in the dark this morning!!!!!!!!

    How deep is your style?

    In deep enough! But I suppose it's just a superficial, stereotypical definition of the past. I love the style of the 40's and 50's but it's a love of the movies and cars and coke and Leave it to Beaver. I guess it's just an interpretation of the past, like Norman Rockwell paintings, but it's...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I haven't really made it to the planning anything stage on the international. Just an idea in my minds eye!! I would guess that the fenders have the larger opening as the tires that are on the truck are HUGE. I'll get some pics this weekend and post them here. I really haven't done any homework...

    Oldest person you ever knew?

    My Grandfather passed away two years ago at the age of 94. Sharp as a tack right to the end, taking care of himself in his own home. I spent several evenings with him that last week surrounded by my Aunts and Uncles, a few cousins and my mom. It's hard to describe how much he meant to me but I'm...

    Garages and workshops

    OOh Oh Oh I like this thread!!!! I've got a few pieces of machinery myself, but sadly no garage workshop at the house. I've kind of set up a mini shop in my basement to do a few odds and ends but really most of my work is in my cabinet shop business. 40 mile drive to get there but it's worth it...

    do you have many friends?

    I like that part about the "weirdness/nerdiness" , sounds eeirly familiar!! I too am curious about other people but rarely find them interesting for long, most people have no hobbies or interests beyond television and movies, jobs they know nothing about and opinions based on feelings and a...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Hey Dave, that's pretty much exactly the look that I am hoping for when I get to the International project. It looks Identical but without the box and on a Much larger frame. I was thinking of finding a donor Chevy S-10 and peeling the body and box off. Talbot, thanks for the tip on the seat...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Thanks Kpreed, Nice collection of plymouths you've owned, I'm jeolous. My speed shop buddy already called with the front disc conversion plans and a price quote. I guess in the interest of safety I'll have to save the seat upholstery plans for next winter and spend the dough on the brakes...

    do you have many friends?

    I moved around a lot growing up, made friends fast and easy....then we would move again. I never kept in touch with any of them,ever. I've moved around a lot as an adult, held too many different jobs looking for a career, made friends fast and easy and still never keep in touch when I move away...
