    So, making a miniature ship in a bottle wouldn't be manly?

    BTW, just how miniature a table saw are we talking about?

    After looking at the link photo I will have to side with the penguin @richgem on this one.

    But cutting down arrows does qualify as manly. @Sara-s were they new arrows? What type of arrows do you use? I would love to see pics of your set up.

    I'm going to be contrary and say that anything that involves a power tool, no matter how small, is inherently manly. Ditto on the arrows.

    I use carbon-fiber arrows. One of my arrows got stuck in the wooden target stand, at this weekend's tournament. We managed to remove it, but the end (near the point) was damaged. There was no way I could use it again. But my husband has a shorter draw length than I do, so I cut 2" off it, put in a new point, so now he can use it. Beats trashing it.

    Here's my bow;

    I like your bow. Very nice set up. But I for what ever reason I thought you're a recurve shooter.
    I haven't picked up my bow in years. I need to get back into it.

    I've had the devil's own time trying to find Spanish Cedar to finish off my DIY humidor project. I finally bit the bullet and ordered some from Amazon. Should arrive sometime next week. Also gonna put some type of brass plate over the screw holes.
    It woulda been cheaper to buy one. :)

    Yeah, there is that. And the next one will be cheaper, 'cause I've got all the materials now

    Went to the eye doctor for the first time in 4 years. Was surprised that my vision really hadn't changed very much. Just a slight bump up in both lenses. I hate getting those drops that make you look like an alien.

    But, on the up side, he said my eyes looked very healthy. He didn't add "for a man your age", but I could tell it was implied.

    I don't know why but I've never bothered reading this thread before. This sounds AMAZING

    Where did you find the Spanish cedar? And why did it require that particular variety?

    Spanish cedar will hold some moisture, what you want in a humidor, but is mold resistant.
