  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Do you sell your stuff when you get out of a hobby?

See, Mooshi's comments are exactly why I don't throw anything out... you just MIGHT find a use for stuff... and I have so many ideas I WANT to do... in my "spare" time... I keep hoping to find spare time... but until then, the closets keep filling with yard, fabric, beads (oh yea, I got on that bandwagon, too! LOTS of ideas!!!), and scraps of glass (I do foil and lead cane art glass work... in my "spare" time)...

I love the 6-month rule. We first heard that from Alton Brown on FoodTV... if you don't use an appliance in 6 months... use it or lose it! It does cause us to have waffles at least twice a year, as neither one of us want to lose our waffle makers (we got both a thin one and a belgian version for wedding gifts a few decades ago). I've never tried to apply that to stuff in the closet, though... that would be too painful!!

I don't know if you knit or crochet, but here's a great site to sign up for if you do. raverly.com
Totally agree with the you might find a use for stuff. I can let appliances go in a heartbeat :p. It's the crafty stuff and tools like chuck mentioned (nuts, bolts, screws, hinges, etc) that are hard to let go

I haven't had a lot of hobbies, but the ones I've had I've held onto to the stuff. If I run out of room, I'll consider it, but until then my Star Wars lego collection is staying in boxes in the garage.

Alright made this - stuffed it with a squeaker in a sock tied in a knot and two other don't want no more socks.

He's storming around the house squeaking it. I think he likes stinky toes

Being somewhat OCD when I go into a hobby I'm all in, but when I'm done, I need to get it gone. I've wasted sooooooo much money that way. The most recent money pit hobby was marine aquariums. My first saltwater tank was a 110 gallon reef. I did that for about 4 years. Just recently sold it all for $500, easily a few grand worth of equipment. Just wanted it gone. Usually I just find someone who would use whatever it is and give it away.

I hear you. You spend so much money and when you're done, you don't get nearly half of what you put in. Good thing I've only got yarn to deal with lol

Yup I get rid of it, but that's cause my hobby is restoring old cars :)

Heres why I dont throw things out. We got mason a buggy for his B day on the 5th. He's 4 o it's way to big. I made seat rail extensions and raised it an inch. So where it did have 3in forward adjustment and none back, it now has 7in forward and 7 back.

We then found that even moved up, he could not reach the peddles. What to do what to do?

It took 13 peaces from diffrent things, including bed frame to make. At zero cost to me. I saved alot of money over having someone do this for me let alone the material cost. You'll see some funky mis matched crap. Then gray sand blasted then painted and installed
