Over the past few years I have been collecting fossils on and off, mainly
sharks teeth. I also collect fossilized tree sap (particularly with ancient
bugs in it, I have amassed quite a collection)

Recently, I have started another hobby, telescope design and construction.
This is an amazingly rewarding hobby, with an online community which rivals
the vintage computer ones we all know and love. I am trying not to become a
'collector' or telescopes in general, I am just trying to build ones of high
quality (and hopefully one day open a 'custom telescope' shop for hobbiest
types who want the best available) (getting paid to do something you'd do
anyway is always a big plus. ;))
