We did apple peeler (apcs) races. I related all things to items a man would use. Wood lathe is much like the apcs. Then I had a chop off with the guys. They used the food chopper, I used knives... that was fun too.
Also, if you have two round stones, you could have teams assemble some taco rings or something.
I also sell "football" pool squares at $2 each. 50 squares sold = one $100 shopping spree.

I did up a page with 50 squares on it. On the top I just put the "rules". $2 per square. Write name and phone # (in case you want to sell some squares ahead of time). Then after everyone places their order, I cut that page into individual squares, and then pick one square... that person wins a $100 shopping spree (or how ever much is collected if not all 50 squares are sold).
I always wait until orders are placed though, because you want the shopping spree to be an extra, not an "in place of".
Guys really dig that, and everyone wants their names picked.
Also, you could do a quarter auction. Have a few products available that you have laying around. Get paint sticks with #'s written on them. Sell the sticks for whatever the starting bid is. You have a set of Meat Lifters, I would start the bids at $1. Everyone who wants to bid on that auction puts $1 worth of quarters in the cup in front of that product. You should have paper slips with each # of the sticks in a bucket. If they bid on that item, and you pick that #, they get the product for the $1 they put into it. (much nicer if you have a larger crowd, or if you have lots of products you got for free laying around)
People can buy extra sticks for whatever the going auction price is.
If the items is up to $10, start it with a 50 cent bids. $20-$30 gets a $1 bid. $30-$50 gets a $2 bid and for things like the Ultimate Mandolin or DCB then $4 - $5 in quarters would be a good start.
Men love to gamble, so those things would work great at a man show.
