So this thread is intended so members can share other interests they have other than Urban Exploring.

I would guess that photography is a major one, which is great and this thread can be used to show a picture that you are particularly proud of.

What i'm really interested in, and the idea of the thread, is the background behind it. The idea is not to just post a picture.

For me, its building / fixing things - mainly computers. I really enjoy tinkering with them and having a rig I enjoy having in the living room. I have done it for years and always finding something new to learn.

I have just upgraded mine. I built it quite a while ago, but it was on a pretty tight budget and unfortunately my case got the cheap end.
Its been bugging me since I bought it, so I finally decided to change it,

New - needs more light though.

Only problem being I now want to put more in!

Another project I had was fixing a flooding problem in my outbuilding (more or less a derp). It sits below ground oddly so little more than a shower and its not very nice. I'm only part way through this, and luckily I had some spare bricks from another project that I could use for a firm base / take up a bulk of room.

Loads of other things that I wont bore you with, some im quite proud of, some that go down as "practice".

I'm not the most academic person in the world (to be kind) so I have got by a lot using my hands, watching YouTube and our friend google. I have had enough successes over the years to enjoy it (mostly), and living in an early 1900s house, I have plenty to do!

That is incredibly intriguing!
See, I really dont have very many "Hands on" projects besides drawing, but I can show some pictures of my traditional and digital artworks:

Most include using a camera if I'm honest. I'll leave an example.

I have been doing a chunk of woodworking in the shed and built 25+ photo frames for the house, the garden has been getting a lot of attention too. Cooking properly has also come back as a hobby rather than a necessity and I have returned to online gaming!

Great idea for a thread & enjoying it so far.

I enjoy making zines (mostly about Australian urbex).

I also enjoy making videos (mostly about Australian urbex).

I like being a guest on podcasts (mostly talking about Australian urbex).

I'm also planning on doing a tribute video for all the urban explorers that have passed away (exploring or non-exploring related).

I have a tribute page on Instagram if anyone is interested.
Urbex Tributes

Cheers

Doug
