Re: Indoor hobbies
I nearly forgot - there is wood carving
Obviously things like birds & other animals; stick making; relief carving & chip carving, which are similar, and done on flat boards
I once stayed at a B&B where the owner had made wood carvings from odd pieces of dead or fallen wood
He incorporated the natural curves & bumps in the wood to produce faces, goblins elves, birds, real and imaginary animals and so on
He might make one face from one lump of wood, or have several along the length of an old branch
I think this style is called 'found wood carving' -
I've tried spoon carving, but not much as I have other things to do
You can do woodcarving indoors, you just need a good vacuum cleaner!
As before, just Search t'Net to find out more
I don't want to make walking sticks but I have given a talk on knife making to a couple of stick making clubs
They were an interested and friendly bunch, and they do other sorts of carving as well
Oh, something else I've just remembered
A lady acquaintance does small scale sculpture and stone carving; don't know much else about it though
As I've followed leatherwork I see that you can make your own books - decorative notebooks, leather bound journals - and so on
Search t'Net & YouTube for bookbinding and book making
Note - book making (two words) is not the same thing as bookmaking as in bookies and horse racing
