I can’t claim this as I read it in a response to some forum message on LJ, but it is how I like to approach things…

When in doubt, make it stout.

My very first project as a teenager involved the use of wafer board and plans from one of the Popular XXX (Mechanics I think) magazine yearly plywood design contests they run. Poorly executed, the whole thing racked over until it collapsed. I cross to the other side of the aisle in HD when I pass wafer board, and to this day I always over engineer everything.

I come back often to read these, (besides the fact I get informed via e-mail) and I am in awe of some of these. I keep thinking that some would make great signs in someones place of business or at least in their shop. I also was going to type a couple of for instances, when I realized I could not just pick a few to high light. That, I just found out to be impossible. From the more serious, to the hilarious, I believe they are allll great. Patrick miles wrote,” Bull sugar maple splinter punk ash,” and for those that have read any of my posts you know I mention once in a while how shocked I can get at myself due to some of the expletives that I hear coming from myself when alone and in my shop. I now am trying to use Patricks 6 word story. I do not think that’s what he had in mind when he wrote it. But when I say it out loud I find it perfect for me and a whole lot more nicer for those to hear if they happen to be around. So thanks to Patrick. Now as far as MsDebbieP goes, I do not know where the “walnut” remarks originally started or what they mean for that matter. (I can guess) but I for one now can not help think of MsDebbieP and the other L.J.’s every time I hear the word walnut, or even see something made out of walnut, and I love that. When I am standing looking to purchase walnut or someone brings by a piece, and I get to chuckle and be asked “What is so funny Allison?”And I get to reply WITH A STRAIGHT FACE and with total honesty “I have no clue” I love it! So thanks for that. There are so many wonderful helpful people in this community, one could not ask for a better woodworking group, however with that said, there is the comical side of L.J.s so for one more 6 word story from myself, it would be (and said with a smile) “With Lumberjocks, You just never know!!!” PEACE!!!
