(I can’t believe I haven’t seen something like this on here…)
You can create something out of nothing and have scraps left over.
You can spend hours looking at a chunk/hoard of wood picturing what you are going to do with it.
You have created a bandage out of anything absorbent and anything adhesive…. or even twine.
You can determine a type of wood by its taste.
You have had sawdust appear in a stool sample.
You have finished off a beverage (coffee, soft drink, water, beer) and found sawdust in the bottom… and not cared.
You loose focus on the speaker because of the incredible grain of the podium.
You have pulled splinters from areas that should NEVER have experienced that type of invasion.
(to be continued…)

Your spouse looks at your workshop and wonders why you have 4 drills and 3 sanders.

I have heard something very close…

Ok.. ok… I give. Should have known that you pack of yahoos would have already taken care of this!
I checked the two leads you posted… I think I wet my pants… People keep peeking into my office with a perplexed, “Are you ok?” look on their faces.
Damn… a great laugh on a Monday afternoon.. Excellent.

When someone mentions “he’s carrying his man magazines to the bathroom again”, they’re talking about Shop Notes, not Playboy.

You have glue or hardwood stain all over your fingers when you go to that nice restaurant. What a great look that is

You might be a wood-worker if :-
you can remember the exact time and day you bought your first lathe/bandsaw/planer etc but you haven’t
a clue when your kids birthdays are.
you go to a market and you find yourself in a group of intent, shifty-eyed maniac types, rummaging silently
through junked-out hand tools…..and you don’t really stand out .
you would happily trample across scantily clad hotties in order to get your hands on the last free chisel
or clamp available with your cut-out coupon for the local hardware.

You might be a wood-worker if:
You can’t throw away a coffee can….or a spare screw to put in the can.
You look at a log or a wood shipping crate and wonder what you can make out of it.
You look up at the ceiling beams and trim work at church or a restaurant.
Your wife separates the wash in to 3 piles….whites, colors, his dusty work clothes.
Your wife knows at least 6 wood species and knows what quater sawn means.
You love LJ as much as I do!

Your local Quicky Mart carries Band-aids, eye-wash and leather gloves because you’ve asked so many times. You’re spouse and children know that easy Christmas and birthday presents are renewals to favorite magazines. You’re wife reminds you the week before important social events to not sharpen, chisel, plane, or knife blades so your arm hair stays intact and you don’t look like you have the mange. You’re wife has experience closing open wounds with super glue Thats my contribution Ford Mike

Thanks Mike… I love this site and the knuckle-headed that populate it!
