I enjoy my gay hobbies-- theatre, music, sewing, sex -- as much as the next 'mo, but when I want to really create something I can be proud of, I turn to power tools. I love to build things. And I have several tools that I love to use. My Makita 18v cordless drill / screwdriver is a dream. My inexpensive Pro-Tech 10-inch compound miter saw is one of my most oft-used reliables. My Ryobi table saw is also great to have.
But it's my Porter-Cable compressor/nailer kit that gets me hard. Oh, it's amazing. There are three different nailer guns that can be used with it, so I can shoot everything from staples to 2-1/2 inch finishing nails.
I've been using all my tools lately in the construction of a wall unit for some friends. It's a mantle, fireplace surround, cabinets and bookshelves, with the entire wall clad in oak. It's all built around a stacked-stone fireplace, so I'm going with a sort of craftsman / arts and crafts / mission style. When it's finished, I'll take pictures and post them here.
I feel so butch right now. I think I'll go have a cigarette and think about Jessica Alba.
Or about sewing clothes for Jessica Alba.
Or about Paul Walker, who starred in "Into the Blue" with Jessica Alba.

I am duly impressed!
I have a Ryobi cordless drill/screw driver, with not one but two battery packs so you can charge one while using the other, and I must say it has changed my life.
I'll go with Paul Walker over Jessica Alba, too.
Mark :-)
I also have a collection of items that run on batteries or plug in. You could call them "drills," I guess. I call them "My Mechanical Boyfriends." I never have to buy them dinner. It's a nice arrangement. :)
I would definitely go with thoughts of Paul Walker.
He's much prettier and he can act. :)
