I used to brew... that was my last hobby. I brewed 110 gal. for my wedding three years ago using a 10 gal. system. i still have my 27 gal. conical fermenter.
at work i build off-white powders from scratch:
this last year i decided i needed more head room upstairs and ripped the roof off my house:
i don't have a more recent photo but it's closed in for the winter (roofed sided etc.). next week sheet rock goes up.

Like a few others here, I'm a beer brewer. Been a while since I've done much though! Progressed from kit level to full grain, was pretty in to it with my now brother in law. We lived together through uni and had 5 beers on tap, not a bad uni house :P He's working on kicking off a microbrewery now.
I'd like to restore a car one day, had an old mini for a while but sold it. Done a ton of work on cars in the past. I'm a quality engineer in an auto oem so technically my job is building cars to some extent. Usually that just means process analysis but it has, at times gone past when it got critical, meant physically building cars too.
I've just started getting in to photography as well.

Ha, thanks Sam!
I don't really know how to play mandolin, but I can play guitar half-way decently, it's just tuned differently (like a violin) so it's just a matter of learning where the notes/chords are. It sounds awesome!
The elbow-licking unfortunately is unsuccessful. I'll have to see what I can rig up to accomplish that.

There are definitely some talented folk on here.
Pretty hard to go next after the house extension and a hand built Mandolin but anyway.
Build all sorts of things, cars, boat trailers etc but one of the more fun hobbies is building custom bikes.
Great fun riding from pub to pub along the river through the city.

The red one I built for my girlfriend. The green one I did for her brother (as I was drawing it up it somehow looked familiar, I didn't realize until it was finished that I had built the Orange County Choppers logo) the brown one is my daily basher, the white one was just some left over pieces I put together for some fun and the yellow one is the latest one.
