:D....if your house doesn't have any furniture in it because you keep saying to your wife "but honey, I can build a better one than that -- AND FOR A LOT LESS MONEY!"

Yeah, right....

If your idea of furniture shopping is going to Ikea to reverse engineer that credenza your wife likes.:eek:
Or you ever bought a piece of furniture at a garage sale just so you could take it apart; so you could build another one just like it.

If your idea of potpourri is Cheesecloth bags of Cedar shavings from the lathe....

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.
be it rockler or woodcraft...

When the first thing you do when entering anyplace is to try and identify the wood types in the furniture.

Your wife buys you a cabinet saw in April for your birthday then grouses about you spending too much time in the shop in May, oops was that a rant!

... your constantly taking pictures of furniture, amoires, boxes, curious, etc.etc.etc. and telling yourself

"I can build that... I can build that..."

When the cuffs on your pants, shirts, sox, hat, ass crack and belly button all have more sawdust in them than the floor.:eek:

...if you go all the way to Washngton DC for vacation and the first place you go is the Renwick Gallery to see the Greene & Greene exhibit and you are the only one crawling around on your hands and knees looking UNDER the amazing pieces with the guard watching your every move.Oh, and no photos were allowed :mad:.

But my wife actually enjoyed it as well.

That was freakin' hilarious! :D

You might be a woodworker if you keep every scrap of wood in hopes of using it on some project unforeseen in the distant future.

You may be a woodworker if you have more wood in your hands than Pinnochio.

You have every glue known to mankind in your shop.

Instead of watching the game, you're salvaging pallets from overseass.

You never have to buy wood chips for the grill/smoker.

Look at a magestic oak and "see" the lumber it contains.

Keep an ongoing shop grocery list.

Hate the house vacuum cleaner, love the Shop Vac.

Addicted to how-to magazines, web sites, and tool catalogs.

Every year Christmas wish list includes shop towels, clamps, clamps, and more clamps.

If you have a cedar chip hanging from your trucks rear view mirror instead of the little felt tree, Craig

If you buy painter's tape to prevent chip out rather than for painting.

If the best present you ever got was an old pile of wood that had been stuck in some guys barn for 50 years.

If you can talk about butt joints and don't even think about cracking a smile.

If you keep a spare change of clothes in your shop so you can go straight from work to your latest project without having to go up stairs.

If you wake up on the weekend extra early so you can get a jumpr start on finishing your project so you can get at least three or four coats in before you have to go back to work.

If you secretly smile when your kids break your old store bought furniture so you can build something of your own.

If sawmillcreek is your homepage.

If you know that the diy shows "expert" is wrong when she claims that the flooring is oak.

You are always dreaming and looking for your next tool, when you don't have time to make full use of the tools you have.

If the redecorating plans for every room in your house hinge around the wood species you plan to feature in them. (Guilty, guilty, guilty!)

......if you have written a 12 page treatise on popping blood blisters and speeding the cure of smashed fingernails. The next pending chapter will be about cleaning the nasal sinuses (sinusi?) of dust particles.
