When I get bored I just flock to creative hubs to find things to do. Like King Of Random I'm not sure how a man can watch those vids and stay bored. A year ago I was bored and saw him make his "Fight Club" soap. Then thought "DAMN! I'm doing this!!!"
So I went out and bought 4lbs of lye, coconut oil, grapeseed oil and olive oil. Also got dyes and oil fragrances.
It may sound like something women do but it's fun as fuck. I spent the whole day mixing and pouring soap into silicon molds. The 2nd time I did it I used only coconut oil for the crazy bubbles it makes. Then mango oil, lemon oil and Egyptian musk for scents. They all smell awesome and are 2-3xs bigger than store soap. I also added extra lye so the bars last forever. With normal soap I gotta scrub 3 times just to get the oil off (I'm Italian). Then deep in the ears I gotta shove the whole bar in my ears just to clean the oil out. With homemade soap all I do is build up a lather, put the soap down and that 1 lather removes every bit of oil off my skin. I also love the lemon smell. I've never seen lemon bodysoap in my life not sure why.
Another boredom project was my oxyhydro torch which was a PITA. But I gotta it tuned up to 14 liters per minute of gas. It makes a huge, hot and howling 5000F flame. Cuts right through 1/4" steel. Welds very well with MAPP coolant. And you never run out of fuel as it's powered with water.
Then my forge & burner project. I had absolutely no use for a forge but decided ytf not? They look cool. So I spent a couple weeks building my burner. A couple days on the forge. Then tapped a line to connect my oxyhydro torch to the flare on the air-propane burner. This way it injects oxygen / hydrogen into the air / propane mix. First time I did it I melted the whole lining of my forge. Then used some silicon carbide grinding wheels from harbor freight to line it. Now I can melt almost anything. I've basically stopped recycling. All aluminum, glass, copper, steel... anything I don't need I throw in the forge.
Then I also have a sweet music studio been doing that 15 years now. Fishing season just started so I'll be doing that too. Golf. Just look around dude. There's tons of shit to do you just pick something and do it.
