Unfortunately, no.  The issue is in the cylinder itself    I'd like to pull the motor out and dig more, but I don't have an engine lift.

You can rent them. I had to do that several times to move around heavy woodworking machines.

You made that? That's amazing. I can barely cut a pine board in a straight line!

Bass guitar, plastic modeling and cats.  My nerd game is strong.

Me too. My main bass is a Hohner B2B Steinberger copy. Also have a Yamaha RBX 4 strings, and a Fender Jazz 5 string. What type of bass(es) do you have?

Very well done on the music.   Outside of the talent, its incredible how far recording has come. 

Thanks! And yes it’s insane, I record at home on a laptop. Its great to have that become so affordable/convenient.

This has been an awesome thread!  Thanks OP

 

As a kid you spend all of your time hanging out with friends but as an adult I feel like hobbies are what get you through life!

Yep.
Just like anything else, you get a little better each time you practice and make things!

I collect gold bullion,  I have a full basement loaded with the stuff and I never  lock the doors

All these years we thought he was HOUSE, when in actuality he's

I love to fish.  I was going to go this afternoon after work but we're getting storms....kinda pissed out it.

I've been looking forward to it since yesterday.

if you on the Chess.com app my username is puzzlestjb always looking for new people to play 

I sent you a challenge. (I'm bikopuccinni.) I made it three days, but I usually move within a few hours. No worries if that's still too slow for you.

For my fellow chess players you can find me as qwksilver on chess . com. Send a game or friend request.

I mostly play 5 minute blitz but I'm open to other time constraints

 

Fyi I hit 1900 elo last week. Personal best.

That is impressive, it pops. Has kind of a ‘50’s flair. Do you have pics of other projects?

Beautifully done.

Sure, here are some others:

Walnut fireplace mantle



Custom built-in's with lighting and the mantle you saw in the last picture



Shoe rack and coat area with built-in laundry shoot



Food storage shelves



Walnut jewelry box (plays wedding song when opened)

Cabinetry

That’s awesome! We check our neighbors when they are away and I was surprised to find how committed he is to the shop in his basement. That is no light undertaking to create that kind of stuff.

Awesome work!

It’s funny— my dad has very few hobbies. After he retired, he just became bored, and I have tried to get him to pick something up.
 

on the other hand, I have a ridiculous and endless amount of hobbies.

and when I get a new hobby, I sort of dive into it fully and obsessively. Some drop off for a bit, but then I come back to in spurts. 

 

The two most recent hobbies I have added over the past year: 

 

1) cooking authentic Chinese food and trying to perfect deep dish pizza

2) weight lifting (now at the gym 5-6 days per week) 

 

But if I made a list now, I think I probably have 20 solid ongoing hobbies.

Yeah it can be a fun hobby.

Funny story: That laundry chute you see in the third picture above: I quickly became tired of carrying clothes back up the stairs, so I built a reverse-sucking machine that allows us to not only drop the clothes down when when they're dirty, but also suck them back up to the 2nd story when they're clean. 

I made a video of this process if anyone wants to see it.

That would be really cool to see.
