Pete M Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 And that pile of old tires behind the garage doesn't count. :D My old boy scout troop is doing some sort of collecting merit badge and so I'm bring in a couple of my families collections as examples to show them. My dad's giraffe collection. Although technically he doesn't collect giraffes. Years ago he made the mistake of telling my sister and me that it was his favorite animal and we, uh, sorta built his collection for him. :D My dad's rock collection. Every trip we go on we come back with rocks. Most free, some purchased. From all over the country. This is only the part that's displayed in the living room. My dad also collects ball caps. This is a part of his collection.
CWLONGSHOT Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I have a thing for weird and old bullets.... I cannot find the pics I had.... Here is one of the boxed stuff. This is not the really old stuff. Most of the really old stuff is single pieces. I also have a affinity for knives and swords. I have a number of these as well. CW
chicofuentes0224 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I have about 200 shot glasses from all over the world, from china to jamacia to argentina
Twisty Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I have about 200 shot glasses from all over the world, from china to jamacia to argentina I do this also! I only have about 140, but its still quite a bit! The funny thing is that I'm not 21 yet..... :roll:
beaterjeep Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I don't currently have any pics, but I collect energy drink cans. Current guesstimate is about 100 different cans, no duplicates. Before anyone asks; YES, I am :nuts:
Geonovast Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I don't really collect anything, per se. I used to have a plethora of old computers(about 30 CRT monitors, roughly 35-40 cases, and boxes and boxes of parts). I got rid of most of it now though, and thanks to me St. Vincent De Paul had banned computer parts shortly before they removed their box from my town. A big hobby of mine though, is K'nex. (ya...ya...) But I think I've made some pretty nifty things the past few years. I made a model of a V8 that everything moved in. Crank, Pistons, Rockers, Valves. It wasn't all toooo detailed, but it was neat. Don't have any pics of that one, but here's the V4 I've made that's supposed to eventually run on magnets... And...the two speed shiftable tranny.
