You might be married to a Lumberjock, if...............

Mark, I can’t let Don take the blame for #1. That was my comment. Please don’t let your wife yell at me, I just couldn’t bear it.

And your wife should do her own input… you’re a man, you’d screw it all up. HAHAHAHA !!!

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)

-- Mark DeCou - American Contemporary Craft Artisan - www.decoustudio.com

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”.

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.”

before the lumberjock in the family – now I really think that lumberjock term should be officially added to the dictionaries…

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

Now Mark can get twice as much work done, because his wife can do all the computer stuff, picture taking and project posting. Pretty soon he can actually put ‘er to work in the shop. (I’m gonna have a lotta fun with this one)

-- making sawdust....

You might be a LumberJock if : you spend a half a day in a tool store just to buy sand paper, then walk out with half the store, but no sand paper.

When you not actually working wood, your reading catalogs, magazines, or watching video on the subject.

If you have to take almost all your clothes off outside and give them a good shake BEFORE you come in the house. And your partner STILL complains that you’re leaving a trail of shavings – because you didn’t shake your head….. or there are shavings in your laces.

-- Wood you....

After washing, your shirt/trouser poickets are still full of shavings. You can turn them inside-out or whatever, but next time you put your hand in – shavings!

-- Wood you....

You might be married to a lumberjock if…...your favorite seasoning is sawdust.
