The Official 8th Maxim Talent Thread

Has there ever been a 100% serious thread here? No matter how serious the OP was/is?

 

It's possible, but I've only heard legends about those threads.

 

Sounds to me like you should make better choices.


Or realize you have a set of balls.

 

On a serious note, I would go up against anyone on my ability to read lake conditions (clarity, temp, structure, etc) and find the depth walleye are hanging out in when trolling in the summer.

 

I just can't believe anyone dared post a reply after this. Way to end a thread, rb.

 

She took my balls years ago. You clearly have never been married to a Latin woman.

 

Huh????

 

Obviously. A good recliner > the hottest Latin woman that wants to control your life

 

This is awesome. You sound like Cash in this video, RB.

 

Thank you, it's one of my favorite Cash songs.

 

FYP

 

Much more accurate.

 

I build mandolins and mandolas. Still dialing in the graduations but they're not bad. When I get one built that I really love I want to try an octave.

 

Now that is awesome. I have just started knife making, and I couldn't imagine the skill required to make mandolins.

 

Awesome, would love to see pics and hear one.

 

It is just my natural voice. I am not really trying to imitate JC. Singing his songs like this one and "Hurt", "Folsom Prison", "Ring of Fire", and "Cocaine Blues" are so easy for me because they are right in the sweet spot of my range.

 

I'm working on my third project now... An H5 Mandola. 17" scale and I'm taking my sweet time with it... Pix at Rayburn Stringed Instruments on FB.

 

It's not hard, but it IS time consuming... Measure 27,329 times and cut once... After praying, fasting and losing sleep for weeks.... Everything depends on everything else and since its wood, there's an element of luck involved too to end up with an instrument that sounds special... The first two have been OK but not great. Hopefully #3 will have "it"....

 

I make a lot of stuff out of old barn wood and I'm pretty good at shooting moving targets
