Do you have an interest or hobby that just surprises the hell out of people!?

I think with me, most people get really surprised at my knowledge on cars - I’ve always liked them and can recognise most vehicles on the road, name the maker and the model 😊 I have decent knowledge on the mechanics but don’t tend to get stuck into the mechanical side too much.

I make harps. Not kits or anything - draw designs, timber, etc. Started because I was in a rut with guitar, heard an Irish harp and was so ignorant I thought it would be simple to make. I couldn't even hammer a nail straight. All the barriers were just things to learn. The harps are beautiful and sound beautiful.
But have lots of interests. Paint in oils. Brew fine ales. Write books. Woodwork (came from learning to love the journey when building that first harp.) Play bass, guitar, mandolin/ mandola... Not enough time for everything.
