You know you're a lumberjock, if/when......

No. 6: you find your self driving around the block on the way home, secretly looking for big trees you could cut down and build something with.

No. 7: your kids ask you everywhere you go, “could you make that dad?” (kinda cool trait to have, huh!)

-- Mark DeCou - Kansas Flinthill's Artisan

No. 8: if when you bow your head at the table to pray for the meal with the family, when you open your eyes you find the saw dust that fell off the top of your head into your plate.

No. 9: You love the smell of sawdust in the morning.

-- Mark DeCou - Kansas Flinthill's Artisan

No. 10: every time you get a new tool, you re-read through all your back issues of Wood, Fine Woodworking, etc… to check out all those projects you can do now.

-- The opposite of war isn't peace. It's creation. -- Wood T's: http://www.printfection.com/snbcreative

No. 11: your wife chides you for not wanting to throw any piece of wood away.

No. 12: You carefully debate (with self) over which pieces of wood from the scrap bin are actually lowly enough to be used for a sacrificial backer board when driling, etc…

No. 13: You remind wife/kids not to burn firewood from one particular half of the woodpile.

-- The opposite of war isn't peace. It's creation. -- Wood T's: http://www.printfection.com/snbcreative

No. 14: You go to bed at night and find your safety glasses still pearched on your forehead, your tape on your belt and the pencil you lost hiding behind your ear.

-- http://www.woodsongsfurniture.com

No. 15: you reach into your pocket for keys and pull out a handfull of sawdust along with them.

-- ~ www.darrylmasterson.com ~ www.woodworkingdungeon.blogspot.com ~

Hey jocks, this is starting to get fun now, keep them coming:

No.16: after a day working with power tools in the shop, you hear “crickets” nonstop at night when trying to sleep.

No. 17: old friends call you to brag about the new power tool they just bought. AND:

No. 18: You try to sound truly excited for your friend, but really, you just wish you had the tool they just got. But, you try to sound sincere.

No. 19: You think about a project you could build just so you can use the little piece of purple heart you have on hand.

No. 20: your spouse says to people, “he can just build anything with wood, but he is very electronically challenged.” She means it as a compliment. I think.

No. 21: you quit a good paying, easy job, with a climate controlled environment, with vacation time, 401(K), sick pay, bereavement pay, and a company car, just so you can work hard for 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, sweating in a 100 degree shop, smelling sawdust, with no vacations, no retirement, have to work even when you’re sick, make less than minimum wage at times….......just so you can spend more time working with wood.

-- Mark DeCou - Kansas Flinthill's Artisan

Nice one Dennis… that one made me laugh out loud!

No. 22: You were temporarily excited…. then confused when you overheard co-workers (at the office) talk about picking up wireless routers at Best Buy or Circuit City.

No. 23: It’s easier/faster to pick up a new speed square, tape measure, pencil, etc…. next time you go out, than to find yours amid the woodchips and clutter. Even though you “just had it.”

-- The opposite of war isn't peace. It's creation. -- Wood T's: http://www.printfection.com/snbcreative

No. 24: no matter how many compliments a projects brings, you can always list of the the “problems” that should be fixed, could have been done better, etc…

-- ~ www.darrylmasterson.com ~ www.woodworkingdungeon.blogspot.com ~

No. 25: the (soon to be) forthcoming onslaught of pre-holiday catalogs in the mail only serves to inspire projects you could make better and cheaper (or free) – even though our wives know (and know better than to remind us) that it usually is cheaper to buy them, than to spend the time it would take to really make them right.

No: 26. Christmas time is time to make toys and gifts to give… hoping only to receive new tools (to make more gifts next year!)

-- The opposite of war isn't peace. It's creation. -- Wood T's: http://www.printfection.com/snbcreative

I did just throw them all out yesterday! Yea for me!

No. 35:

When you read the term “nicely figured crotch…..” you ONLY think of wood you want to see.

No 40. You try to think of ways to recycle your sawdust. (Like making your own presto logs)
No 41. You make 10 (ten) 6 sided pencil holders but refuse to sell them at a crafts fair because a) they’re a matched set b) you intentionally bought enough pencils to fill them all and placed them through the shop so you’ll always have a pencil at arms lenght

No 43. You ask the folks at your wood supplier if you can scrounge through the dumpster for spare wood.
No 44 You ask them for their dunnage (stickers under the wood units) because it’s cherry.
No 45 Your friends or neighbors brag about a new tool and you realize that a) it isn’t as good as yours. b) it isn’t worth what they paid for it. c) they could have gotten it for a better price, d) they could have gotten a better tool for a cheaper price.
No 46. You turn your spare bedroom into a shop so you wont have to go outside, or to the garage. Or just so you can work on projects in your slippers.
No 47. You melt your wife’s unscented candles down and mix it with the sawdust you have put into her bread making pan. (I thought it would come out easily, afterall it was teflon coated).

No 67. You know you’re a lumberjock, when the wood in your shop starts to talk to you. Or any wood starts to talk to you. Some people call that crazy, I call it Artistic Genius.

No 69. When you go lake canoeing with your wife, you stop to explore an island in the middle of the lake. Ha, what comes next is you find a rotted out and hollow log which you see as a piece of art. Asking the wife for help you proceed to place the piece of wood catty-corner on the canoe, of course the timber is longer then the canoe, and then you both paddle out and across the lake. Did I fell to mention that all the while you feel as if you just found a ‘pot of gold’.

-- --frank, NH, http://frank.wordpress.com/

Whew! Frank:
You had me worried there for a minute, I thought you were going to say you took the log and left the wife on the Island. Of course, you would send someone back for her. Glad to you have on board, keep posting.

-- Mark DeCou - Kansas Flinthill's Artisan

No 70. You might be a lumber jock if your woodworking club has made between 1000-1200 toys for charities for Christmas. And they’ve done it for the last 11 years.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

Now, Mark, a lumberjock would never leave his wife while paddling a canoe carrying a log … Think, Man !!! One person has to hold onto the log … One person paddles the canoe. Sheeeesh!

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

No 71. How about when you carry three knives with you in spite of the added weight increase to your pants. One is a lockback knife for debarking or spudding, one a three bladed smaller old timer for cleaning up the wood and then the all around leatherman for whatever comes next. And then there is the what do I do now when dressing up to go out for a social engagement and realizing some of those knives just don’t fit in your dress pants. Lockback too big, leatherman to bulky to fit under a jacket and so you won’t fill totally stripped you sneek the old timer into your pants pocket. Actually I’m doing better since I used to carry four knives.

No 72. And then what about the ever present carpenter pencil which you cut in half and carry in your pants pocket also along with the added bits of ever present sandpaper which you carry for the, ‘well you just never know’. Actually the carpenter pencil justifies the need of the old timer since you will need to sharpen the pencil ever so often. And yes there is that sigh of relief when after forgetting the pencil behind your ear and searching your shop you remember that pencil in your pocket.

No 73. You are delighted when going out for the evening with your wife to a friends house because you know that this friend has some woods out back and/or a woodpile. Knowing all this you proceed to put one of your chain saws in the back of your truck just in case.

No 74. When going to a friends workshop, again you are delighted since you will have a chance to look through his scrap wood box. And then when he doesn’t understand how you could use anything as small as this piece of wood you proceed to inform him of all the many possibilities. The only thing wrong with this is that the next time you visit that friend he has none of that exotic wood in the scrap box since he has now taken your advice.

No 75. And what about the always and ever present pieces of wood saved from the woodpile that are setting around, at least for as much time as you can squeak out before your wife starts complaining. Ha, I have set them on kitchen tables, pianos, window sills, cabinets, dressers and then there is the outside and I’m not even going there. Having these pieces close by inspires me and opens the door for conversation when others come around, at least this is one method of explaining marketing.

No 76. I’m going to try and make this one my last for today, can I? When out driving especially in a new area, the thrill of excitement that comes from seeing an old barn on someone’s land. Since I’m into the old English Barns of New England, I can never just pass one by without stopping to inquire if I might just be able to ‘root around’ inside the barn. I’ve made sure that I always carry a pair of carhartt overalls in my truck for the once again ‘just in case’, plus the tie downs and bungees. My wife has long ago gotten use to these ‘root arounds’ and gets a since of pleasure from this also, while my truck has also learned to not complain. Much has been the treasure ‘in my eyes’ that I have saved and salvaged from old barns as they are an ever source of hardware and timber.

You Know your a LumberJock when .. while watching TV you pay more attention to the furniture / molding / cabinets than the show. Always thinking .. I can make that.

Ooops that was No 77…..

-- http://www.woodsongsfurniture.com

I’m talking about the jersey gloves carpenters wear in winter. I’d wear out a pair a day. There just would’nt be any fingers in them, from grabbing nails and hauling wood, and that was way to much explaining to be a good lumberjock joke. If we had worn rubber gloves our hands would have been froze by the end of the day. mike

-- Mike. Profisher50@yahoo.com

Dennis: I could say that it’s the back of the sawblade kicking up chips. But it’s really the lathe when chips start flying.

Karson, I got the “no-hair” joke the first time, too bad it flew past you. We are laughing with you, not at you. Notice that my photo has the top of my head cut off. Not bad photography, just good editing.

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

My “hardy-har-har” wife intercepted the flurry of emails notifying me of additions to the “you might be a lumberjock…” list this morning.

She thinks it would be a good idea to start a second list called:

“you might be married to a lumberjock if…...”

so, consider whether you think this is a good idea before I start another list as a separate category. But, before you answer, carefully ponder the concept, as it might get personal, and maybe not always fun to read. ha, ha.

Mark

-- Mark DeCou - Kansas Flinthill's Artisan

Of course, unless it is our wives that post the comments under “you might be married to a lumberjock if…...”, our perceptions might be all wrong.

My wife is always accusing me of not understanding her perspective on things, and frankly, she is right, I don’t.

But I think her bumper sticker sums it all up.

”PROUD AND BLOND OF IT”

-- CanuckDon "I just love small wooden boxes!" http://www.canterburybaptist.org/

I am laughing hard here in Kansas Don. My expectation is that it will be our spouses that would be writing up the “new” list. I know my wife was the one that wanted to compile a list of all of the things she finds funny about her lumberjock, but I don’t see them as so funny. I guess that is the risk, if we turn the spouses loose on it, it might give us some more members to the forum, but it might have a harder time laughing at ourselves. I think I can take the jokes, I hear them anyway.

thanks Don, my wife is Blond, and her comment is, “that was mean.” Then, I explained to her that the bumper sticker was on the blonde’s car. Then she got the joke.

thanks,
Mark

-- Mark DeCou - Kansas Flinthill's Artisan

So, if our spouses start up the new list… and we don’t read it… it doesn’t matter if we find them funny or not… I think you pretty much summed it up for them with #5 anyhow.
