    A woman has the last word in any argument.
    Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

    Do you have plans for one? I would really like to have one, but can't afford the cost of commercial ones!

    i can't really afford on of the better commercially available units either, but if I shot more, it would quickly pay for itself.

    There are some pretty interesting homemade ones running around. The links heathydee put up should get you going in the right direction if you want to make your own.
