You know you're a woodworker when a fellow woodworker carries two bowl blanks to you in church.  Thanks Bob!!

 

 

Any Others?

You know your a woodworker when there no room to park the car in the driveway because of the lumber stacked in the driveway....

You finally get the bug to push through on a project over a weekend, but your Wife has other plans for you. OH THE AGONY OF MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE.

I hope your wife wasn't too upset with your decision!

You cry when you see someone burning logs in a fire!

You know you are a Woodworker when..

The War Department (Lovely wifey) complains all the time about those aweful smells coming out of your shop in the basement.

When you come home you have to blow and pick the sawdust out of your nose for a half hour so you can breath!!!

When buying 150.00 dollars of groceries makes you flinch but 270.00 bucks for a new bar and a carbide chain doesn't!!

You know you are a woodworker when you start yelling at the TV while watching a home design/renovation show because the designer is painting over the oak crown and chair moldings in a 1930's Craftsman Style house. (this happens regularly to me)

 

You know you are a woodworker when you have to cut your chest hairs because you couldn't sleep and got up in the middle of the night to do a glue-up in the garage and you weren't wearing a shirt. (note to self: next time put on your shop apron as glued up chest hair removal hurts)

 

You know you are a woodworker when you tell your wife that when Dave Ramsey (financial guru) says "you have to live like no one else so later you can live like no one else" he means that she can't get that new dress but you can get a new tool for the shop so you make furniture instead of buying new furniture.

When your shop buddy (my English Springer) uses your pile of saw dust for a bed and you think to yourself, that looks comfortable.

and you know you're a woodworker when your wife meets you at the door with a Dustbuster.  That came fro the LOML.  I think she is experienced.

When your wife gives you a shopping list and it includes the board feet needed to build her something new.

Amen and Amen!

You walk down to the basement in the dead of night (3 AM) to draw out the answer to a woodworking problem before you forget.

 

The amount of sawdust in your pockets and socks at the end of the day after a month is enough to mulch all 8 of your houseplants including the 7 ft tall Ficus!!

 

 

Here's a fresh one as of today.  You know you're a woodworker when you notice a clear stain on your tee shirt after breakfast and it isn't donut icing.  It's dried Titebond.  True story from this morning.

BTDT..

Larry

and got the tee shirt?

 

when you look at an ugly knob on a tree and think how pretty the grain must be on that burl.
