*******POSTED for Steve Clandinin.................

Steve sent me 10 photos and I will post all of them but it will have to be in two different post as "flood control" only allows 8 at a time so 5 now and 5 in the next post.

Just so you know I have already told Steve that after looking at his pictures.....

I said BTW, I hate you!...lol

Way too organized and clean two definite signs of a very sick mind...lol

Always!! But the pictures you were looking at are Steve's so don't judge my stash by his.

I am not anywhere nearly as organized as he is and I only have a few bows and never enough arrows...lol

God bless,Mudd

Quite the collection.  Some beautiful gear you have.  But really, how do you keep your room so neat?  Maybe it's just pretty for picture day...or I'm just messy.  

I need to make an arrow rack like that.  Very nice, very functional.

Roy, what bow is that sexy r/d one, 3rd from the top (or bottom)? A Big Jim TC?

And just to clear some thoughts: "It ain't a mess if ya made it yourself"   ;)

No way I'd ever post a picture of my disorganized pile after that.  What kind of sick person has plenty of arrows all sorted anyway?  Frankly, it's disturbing.  It makes me feel all clean inside just looking at it.  I'm going to visit my wallow and try to forget I saw this.

Passthru,to funny !
Svein,the 3rd down is a Big Jim Thunderchild,and the one above that is Big jims 3 piece.

Danny ,theres lots of truth to that,BUT... once you get alot of stuff they rarely notice when something new is added.

Post by: Mudd on February 26, 2011, 12:38:00 PM
I did a little editing of my original posts so hopefully any confusion will be cleared up.

I wouldn't want to mislead anyone into thinking I was anywhere near that compulsively neat....lol

God bless,Mudd

Steve,that place really looks like a "Pro Shop".
I love such a organized place.

My setup is a bit more modest, though semi-tidy:

Nice set-up and some great bows there!

It never fails for me. I'll go downstairs to twist a string, add a nock locator, wax, etc. An hour later it seems as if every doo-dad, spool of serving thread, scissors, pliers, bubble-wrap, tape, etc. are scattered all over my work bench. Oh, and 3-4 drawers open and stuff in the floor.

Why does it take longer to clean it up than to create the clutter?  The thing that usually  motivates me to put everything back in its place is the fear that a misplaced or forgotten blade will nick a string! Or a metal this or that will scratch Cocobolo!

Bowwild your right,so much needed to do so little,I've got my wife believing that too.
Bowbender,real nice looking room.
I lost a knife in my room and it honestly took two years to find,I said no more! LOL

I also agree with PassThru. I actually first looked at this thread over an hour ago, but immediately ran away screaming! However, I understand that you have to face your fears to overcome them, so I'm back.    :bigsmyl:   , I'm drooling over all your beautiful gear. I could get lost in there for days! Simply awesome.

If I was to post pics of the inside of my boat even the real slobs amoung us would be repulsed. I'm normally an organized person, but living in a 27' sailboat has about cured me of that. Can't wait for Spring so I can get this place Ship-Shape and Bristol-Fashion again. I'm re-building a vintage Suzuki carbeurator at the moment, and hoping none of the parts I've lost track of are too important. Lol!

Steve,
 In that second row of pics Mudd posted for ya I see two bows that looked like they were once in my stable...The Bruin Huntmaster you got from that kid a year or so ago that you didn't think will make it to you and the Kodiak Mag I traded for that knife and binocs that I love so much...When I saw your stable of bows I was wondering if they were still with you and wouldn't you know it I spotted them quickly...Just showed that knife to my brother last week and told him the story behind it..Thanks Mudd for being the "Middle Man"...God Bless, Keefer's <")))><

Very nice toy rooms.

Kids seem to hold on their toys longer if they put them back in their place.

I am only slightly envious since I doubt that I could provide each the proper love they deserve.

I was thinking Pro Shop too. VERY nicely done and I like the comment about having enough stuff to confuse with the new addition. No need for everything to be announced.... I'm inspired to improve my "arrangement".
