I've seen those airbrushing kits for things like that, and I've always wanted one, but it's a little out of my range at the moment. I could do my trains as well as custom work on other things as well.

After that, it'll be a "real" port-a-john complete with a dummy that pops out holding the chute with pants around his ankles. (That's a few years off, though.) I have two in college, one getting married in August, so major funding for that project is a bit constrained in the short-term.

I got a Paasche(sp?) air brush kit. Nice piece, can't remember....been a while since I used it but I think it is a single action version. It does a nice job and can make you an instant artist if you are a rookie. I can't believe I used spray cans for so long. Those things can put a smiley face on a pin head 
Now, if I could only get around to finishing that big twin boom Peterbilt wrecker I bought 10yrs ago

Can I say that??
Any ways I think that would make a good movie.

Depending on the season, my hobbies are bird hunting, offshore fishing, and scuba. Guess I was getting bored in the winter, so I've taken up woodworking. I'm slowly but surely getting my shop put together. Only need a few more power tools...so far I've built a computer table (for me), a fridge, stove, and pie safe (for my little girl), built a shelf/ledge around my sons room to hold all of his action figures, replaced all the crown moldings, baseboards, and door trim in the house with handmade trim, and am almost finished with a dining room table. I'm also in the middle of refacing my kitchen cabinets, but i'm thinking of just building new ones. Soon as my truck gets here, I'd like to start learning some mechanics. To date, all I've ever done is replaced fuel filters.

My hobbies are B&W and Digital photography, N-scale trains, I love building models, especially challenging ones like the Kato/GHQ steam engine I built, it was expensive (over $250) but I will not trade it for anything. I do have some HO stuff including a $365 brass steam engine that I saved up for after high school. It was a late graduation present to myself.
I also like listening to music, watching movies and putting.

I believe he means toy kitchen appliances made of wood. I made the same stuff for my kids.

I'm a "she"
, and yes, I mean 'life-size' toy appliances. I saw a set in the Pottery Barn catalog and they were outrageously expensive, so I built a set similar to them. I did add a few cool things...jenn-air grill to the stove, and a light for the oven and pie safe, 'stainless' handles. They came out great for about 1/3 of the cost.

I went and measured it and asked how much. The salesperson said "$1800". I made one for $300 including trundle with matress and painted with Milk Paint for the "worn" look.
I'm currently making a new dining table for my wife. When done, I will have saved over $1800 over the cost of purchasing one from a retailer. Plus the quality is better.
