    Sawdust Olympics

    I was just daydreaming and wondered what the games would be in a Sawdust Olympics???

    Hammer toss is too obvious.

    Ahhh, maybe the discus throw....With 10 and 12" saw blades? Shot-put using bowl blanks? And a sure crowd pleaser: Fastest band saw blade coiler...And it don't count until the coiled up blade is on the peg!

    Hrdest event

    The hardest event would be the entertainment center glue up with 20+ clamps.
