Brickfilming! I make films with Lego using stop motion animation. Takes a lot of patience and my perfectionism is my worst enemy, but it's super rewarding, and there's a really cool community online around it. And yes, my profile picture is from my most recent Brickfilm!

I'm really into calligraphy and snowboarding. Luckily there's a snowboarding presence here on lemmy, but I have not the time to start a calligraphy one.

I guess blacksmithing would be considered niche? Not doing it very regular. But once every view months.

Code golf on the cgcc stack exchange. I don't do it too often, but the community is pretty small and when I see a good one I can't stop thinking about it.

Church bells being ring to produce songs but changes specifically are precise ringing procedures that often involve complex math in their creation.

I'm with op it's super neat. Before I find out about it I never knew some church bells can stand on their heads bell mouth up and complete full rotations like so.

You'll notice their all up because the first thing you do is flip the bells so they're all mouth up like so.

Yarn dyeing started as a hobby and turned into my job quite quickly :)

It's fun and satisfying to see the colours evolve on yarn and how the colours act differently depending on the fibre blend you're dyeing.

I collect plushies/stuffed animals (to the point where I'm running out of room for more) and I've played Tabletop RPG games like Pathfinder, Shadowrun and GURPS for a good few years.
