[speaker001:] [Noise] [TV or radio] Okay, what kind of crafts and hobbies do you have?
[speaker002:] Oh, not very many of those at, uh, sometimes I, I play the trumpet, and sometimes I work on trumpet mouthpieces.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And then I have a five year old daughter and we cut out things, kind of, you know, and color and, uh, and, uh, use markers and things like that.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] Um, how about you?
[speaker001:] In, well I used to be more into crafts, when I was younger, like high school stuff. I was in four H and I did a lot of latch hook
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] made rugs and stuff. Um, and, uh, I've learned how to crochet, but I don't really know, I mean, I don't do it that much. Not really an indoor hobby type person unless the weather's really bad.
[speaker002:] Um.
[speaker001:] I'd rather be outside.
[speaker002:] Yeah, exactly.
[speaker001:] Um, I used to play trombone [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] I don't know if that was a, not really, I don't play it that much any more, but I, um, what else do I do. Mainly do reading. I don't have a lot of crafty type things I do.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] But, uh, [pause] what are some other things you enjoy?
[speaker002:] I don't know. My, my father is in the, in the antique business.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh [Sniffing].
[speaker002:] And he, uh, he goes around to garage sales and he buys all kinds of, um, china and figurines and statues and stuff.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And, um, there's some stuff that's really for, uh, auto repair. It's called J B Weld
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and I repaired a, a gasoline tank with it once. But he,
[speaker001:] [Sniffing].
[speaker002:] mixes colors in it. It's an epoxy resin that you mix together.
[speaker001:] Oh, cool.
[speaker002:] And he makes like, the other day he was working on a hand that was shattered on a, a statue that's real small, it's like about maybe the hand's about the size of a cricket.
[speaker001:] Oh, wow.
[speaker002:] And, uh, has, uh, like the forefinger sticking out and the thumb sticking out, and he was repairing that, and, uh, it came out pretty good. It's kind of a, kind of a ivory color all over and
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, has some age spots in it, and it looked, you know, just like it, it had been there all the time.
[speaker001:] Huh [sniffing].
[speaker002:] And he fixed some, fixes some bowls that have the cracks or chips in them, and, uh, molds that in. He had a blue, blue bowl a few weeks ago that he, he fixed that way.
[speaker001:] [Sniffing] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] It worked out real well, too. And then,
[speaker001:] Do you ever,
[speaker002:] And
[speaker001:] Huh?
[speaker002:] and then he, uh,
[speaker001:] [Noise].
[speaker002:] he thatches, uh, you know, those, uh, thatched chairs.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] Course that's like that, that, uh, hooking that you were talking about.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] That takes a lot of time.
[speaker001:] That's great that he has a lot of hobbies and stuff.
[speaker002:] Yeah. And he used to paint, um, a long time ago, but I think he's stopped pretty much now.
[speaker001:] Oh [sniffing].
[speaker002:] But outside of, outside of art class in, in school, I, I stopped doing most of that, unless I, I mean, like he has a computer, and I use, um, the graphics
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] um, software on that, [Noise] [Sigh] [pause] to, uh, to do figures and to look at things, you know, see how they work.
[speaker001:] Right. That sounds interesting.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Um, does, does he ever, uh, refinish furniture or anything like that?
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah, sometimes, but it's not one of my favorite things, especially from the vapors, and we had, uh, an entertainment center we did last year. Uh, we [talking] bought it at an, unfinished, uh, furniture place
[speaker001:] Uh-huh [sniffing].
[speaker002:] and sanded it down and, uh, stained it and then lacquered over it [Talking].
[speaker001:] Pretty time consuming, isn't it?
[speaker002:] Oh, yeah.
[speaker001:] But, it's g-, it's nice to have it when you're done, I mean, looks pretty.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh, sure is.
[speaker001:] So, I've done that once but it didn't come out that well.
[speaker002:] Did you use a, did you use a Zar stain?
[speaker001:] Uh, I don't remember. It was, I had my parents buy everything, and I ended up, it was their table, their kitchen table. It came out really dark.
[speaker002:] Um, [pause] they had a, um, well I saw the commercial on T V, and they, and, uh, and the people at the unfinished store recommended it, that's called, it's Z,
[speaker001:] [Sniffing].
[speaker002:] A R [spells out].
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] And, uh, it spreads real evenly and it doesn't dry too fast, so it's, if you get too much in one spot you can smooth it out.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And uh, we,
[speaker001:] [Sniffing].
[speaker002:] put, we put tung oil on it. Kind of made it sticky for a while. But after it dried out, it was, you know, it was real hard, and it was all right.
[speaker001:] I remember it took me a long time, it took me like several months, or several weeks to do it during the summer, and then after I got it done it was pretty dark, and ended up not being real smooth looking. Since I've moved away [LAUGHTER] they've had it redone. So, I kind of, kind of gave that hobby up real quick.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] But, [sigh] I don't know. [Sigh] Like I said, I like doing a lot of outdoor stuff, so [sniffing] but during Four H, I mean they really encouraged to do all kinds of crafty stuff, which is in-, interesting, I like that [Sniffing].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh [NOISE]. Were you in a, were you the Girl Scouts, too or,
[speaker001:] No, well, yeah when I was real young I was for a couple,
[speaker002:] [Noise].
[speaker001:] of years [sneezing]. Excuse me. So, uh, [lipsmack] anyway, it was nice talking to you Dudley.
[speaker002:] Well, it was nice talking to you.
[speaker001:] Have a good day now.
[speaker002:] Okay, you too.
[speaker001:] Bye [Noise] [TV or radio].
[speaker002:] Bye-bye.
