cool T's #1: in memoriam

I’ve heard of this mysterious cookie shirt but never seen it until now. I like it, I like it.

Also, the chatter about the obit and everything is hilarious. Nice post , Chip. Put me down for obit shirt too. Scott. I have just recently learned from my sweetie that she finds it cute I am posting blogs on a woodworking site. I’m lucky. She supports me in my hobby, er, um, habit. Thus, I must further perpetuate my ‘cuteness’ with these shirts.

Wow, between these and a few LJs shirts, I’m clothed for a week!

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

yes… too cute!!

Scott: There is a guy on the internet that is called Joe Woodworker . He sells Veneering equipment, veneers and how-to for building veneer presses.

I’d hate to get on his bad side when he may think we are referring to him. Another name might be better.

Yes, between Martin and I, we’ll have you clothed for a week, inside and outside the shop!

Thanks for that mention Karson… I’ll just have to use a name that doubles as a woodworking term. Woody, Chip or Jack Plane?

Well, we went from my terrible addiction with walnut to an obit shirt. Now I may be the dead guy. Man oh man.

Scott, make that a half dozen of large and x-large. My significant other thinks I’m crazy. She won’t be letting me get the new table saw I want if I go to crazy with this. Otherwise, I still think the idea is great. Do a mockup and let’s see it online here!

I”m working on the wording… will have something available for comments hopefully this weekend… Anyone have any intersting things to add to the list?

I think this is great – made Rick laugh. (I think it was the “clamps” that did it)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Yeah… I could add that to a few other ideas as a great inside joke.

The “clamps” at the end is the zinger… ya gotta leave the clamps at the end right?

you’ve got to have a man standing at a pulpit….
How about “Woodie Woodworker”....or is that another blog?

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

Fer sure Chip… that’s the best part…. If only I could get permission to use brand names, the next funniest bit would be ” (nondescript) wife and kids… DeWalt this, Disston that, Stanley 4 1/2, Bailey Smoothing Plane, Oneway Lathe, Powermatic Cabinet Saw….

Greg, I was thinking a Plank stuck in the ground for a grave”stone”

“Ashes to ashes, Sawdust to dust”

but that might be better… gotta let that percolate a bit…

I like were this is going . . .

I don’t have anything specific, just remember to keep it light and simple.

i can see a calendar from this.
January the key joke
then each month something new to add to the “story”...
all you need is 12 jokes!

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Ok, this is getting challenging… No matter how much of a woodworker I try to become… the graphics ideas keep flowing!...

I’ll ponder the calendar, but I know deep down, I’d only get 11 panels ;)

Hopefully I’ll have something people will like to wear (when their lumberjocks shirt is in the wash!)

All you need to do is put out the challenge. Who would have guess they were 300 You might be a lumberjock if.

We’ll fill out 36 months.

And have you ready for another year. This will be a collectors edition series. You got to get the first one because they will be in limited supply.

JOE WOODWORKER DIED? i JUST HEARD ABOUT THAT… WHAT A BUMMER.

-- http://ye-olde-cabinet-shoppe.com/

estate survey…one table saw, 5 router, 502 router bits, 26 handsaws, 132 screw drivers, 15,726 screws assorted sizes, one 55 gallon drum of wood glue, 2742 board feet of lumber, assorted species, mostly in peices of less than 1 bf, 13,793 clamps and still counting.

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

less than 1BF! Yes! 132 screwdrivers!

-- I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso -- http://blanchardcreative.etsy.com -- http://snbcreative.wordpress.com/

they always seem to disapear until I clean out my wife’s junk drawer, my son’s room, the glove box of my wife’s car, under my wife’s sink….see the pattern here. I lover her, even went so far as to buy her her own set of tools…no luck, there is something about my screwdrivers that she can’t help but help herself.

My husband was a mechanic and had tons of sockets, wrenches and screwdrivers. Rick also had sets of the same. Now we are overflowing—and still can never find the one we need.

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

132 Screwdrivers!! I might have more than that, but like Debbie said you can’t find the one you need. Now they’re gathering dust, because of the power drivers.

I have about a dozen screwdrivers, only know where one is! (not counting the three I’m making of course) why does it seem that a trip down to the store is quicker (and easier) than rooting around the basement for a while?

and then, of course, is the one mult-screwdriver all-in-one that I keep in the kitchen and it ALWAYS goes back there… and can always be found! :D

Martins new T’s reminded me to update you on my “work in progress” – I have the Perfect piece of art in the works… now I just need to do another pass through the text and I’ll have a sample ready to show. (and with your enthusiastic thumbs-up) something to add to my “store”

Between Martin and myself (Oh – and Marc and Matt of LJ and podcast fame) we’ll keep you all stylin’ 8 days a week!
