After some funny input today, I have decided to risk it all and open a new Topic, expecting that at least some of the input would be coming from the spouses of the lumberjocks. I don't know whether my own wife will want to type in some comments, or just give them to me to type in for her, but here it goes:

1) From Obi: YOU MIGHT BE MARRIED TO A LUMBERJOCK, IF HE/SHE'D RATHER BE WORKING IN THE SHOP THAN TAKE YOU OUT TO DINNER.

2) From Obi: You might be married to a Lumberjock if, your spouse would rather be in the shop with ya than be goin out to dinner.

3) From Obi: You might be married to a Lumberjock if your spouse knows more about your tools than you do (Highly unlikely) but stranger things have happened.

How about this one from me:

No. 4) You might be married to a lumberjock, if you have to throw away the tool catalogs that come in the mail before the lumberjock in the family finds them. (this really happens)

No. 5) You might be married to a lumberjock, if when you say suppers ready, & he says, "As soon as I finish this glue up".
 
#6 ·
No. 6) You might be married to a lumberjock, if you say, "Why didn't you come for supper when I called you?" And he says, "I had my ear protection on and couldn't hear you."

A very cool shirt Obi, I think that one will have to get made (and one sent off to Websters, the OED, etc… for inclusion in the next editions!

A gem from my loving wife:

No 7.)
"if your spouse spends hours piddling around in the shop engineering [insert your newest, totally cool, shop oriented project name here which will make you more safe and efficient for many years to come] and you can't get him/her to finish up the [insert your spouse's pet project here] that he/she started [insert duration in years since you started the pet project here] years ago, .....you might be married to a lumberjock."

whew, that one hurt. I warned you all that this could get ugly. But, "nooooooooo," you wanted to press ahead with this new "married to a lumberjock" thread.

have fun,
Mark

She's good. Sound's like mine. And who's idea was this to start the whole "you might be married to a lumberjock if/when ???" ... Oh that's right YOU DID !!!! And if I may Ecclesiastes 3:7 " ...a time to keep silent, and a time to speak;" Had you not spoken about this thread, we, as men, would have never seen it. I personally didn't want to admit the previously mentioned "when are you gonna finish MY …?, because I actually thought that I was the only "slacker" in the shop.

You might be married to a lumberjock if…..not only can he design and fabricate a folding extension table for his tablesaw in an afternoon, he can also wire up and install from scraps lying around, a spray booth that is now fully insulated, part of which was added to the outside of the shop. In his quest to organize and make room for his next woodworking project, he finds the drawer guides to your never-finished-kitchen-cabinet-pullout-drawer over-the-refrigerator that were bought 5-1/2 years ago when the rest of the cabinets were installed by this talented man, and was supposedly the missing piece to completing the project. How can this be??? I have decided that creating something from scratch without plans that doesn't exist is much more fun and challenging than installing drawer guides in a yet to be completed kitchen project. Gotta love'em!!!

Way to go Mark … your latest creation… A Monster. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Now we'll get to hear every thing you've ever started but failed to finish. I don't feel so bad now, as I'm about to finish (today) the Nesting Tables I started for my wife just 6 weeks ago

you might be a lumberjock if :

1) you are reading this instead of talking to your spouse
2) when you sneeze you create a dust storm
3) people ask you why your cologne smells like a cedar closet
4) you know that bubinga is not an urban rap group
5) your doctor has to check the oak level in your blood when you have a physical
6) you know that getting bubinga does not require anti-biotic and bed rest to get better from.
