Robert Heathcock-AKA Blackgrouse


Hobbies and Interests


My hobbies and interests are centered around making things with my hands, usually wood being the medium that I have worked in most. My other main interests are singing and playing music.

That happy guy to your left is me, Robert Heathcock. That grin on my face is because I was able to purchase a Martin 12 String guitar. Worked a lot of overtime for this baby.

Glad you stopped by. I've listed some of my hobbies and interests below as well as a new section concerning my son Brian's deployment to Afghanistan. Sit a spell, grab a cuppa and I'll tell you about myself and sometime I'd like to hear your story as well.

Heathcock-Blackgrouse. This noble bird pictured at the left is a blackgrouse. In times past it was known as a heathcock. It is this bird that my descendants chose as a surname in ancient times back in Great Britain.Click On Bird To Learn More

Wooden Boatbuilding

This is an ultralight skiff that I built.  In fact this was on her maiden voyage. She only weighs about 70 lbs.  so she can be car topped quite easily.  Soon I will be adding some pictures of her under sail as well.

Finally as promised I have added photos of the little craft under sail. Click on the boat at left.

 My Guitars

That's my D 12-35 Martin at the left, circa 1973. Soon I will be adding  a tour of my musical instruments that I play and some that I have made. I made a guitar and several Celtic harps.
