Hi,
I’m Chris. My story is similar to many others. I’m too weak to stop buying flashlights. I have only one job to satisfy my hunger. Fortunately, I’m capable of selling the ones that got me bored…. otherwise I’d be forced to eat…. light? Thanks god I prefer warm light, the cold wouldn’t be so tasty…
If you make a new acquaintance and, in the course of conversation, mention that you’re a flashlight hobbyist (or words to that effect), how many people respond with “Oh wow, that’s really cool!”?
Ok, now how many respond with a slightly perplexed, sometimes condescending smile followed by “oh, isn’t that nice.”?
I’m not sure what “normal” is but I don’t think we’re it.
When I’m out with people do I sometimes get bored and start thinking about how much fun I could be having playing/modding/buying/researching flashlights? :smiling_imp:
It is more about learning the skills to build them i was going to put my lathe in the dinning room but it was too big and heavy to get it there. I do have a mobile welding bench in the kitchen and the best thing about TIG is no splatter so i can weld on my coffee table.
