Mom & Dad sent me a package for my upcoming birthday. Today they called and were surprised the package arrived. I told them about the Leigh jig LOML bought for my upcoming drawer project.

"Oh, you're going to be woodworking?" Mom said. "You should open your present right now. It will probably help with your project."

"Really?"

"Really, open it."

It was a T-shirt. The front reads: "Top 10 ways you know you're a woodworker."

The back reads:

10) You blow your nose and sawdust comes out.
9) Missing a digit. (Can only count to 9.)
8) No lint in the belly button. Just wood chips.
7) You smell like a hamster cage.
6) Your fingernails are a nice shade of mahogany.
5) You never throw anything away because you might need it.
4) Your vehicle has never seen the inside of your garage. [So true. See my thread "Car stolen."]
3) You've got sawdust in low places.
2) The smell of sawdust takes you to your happy place.
1) You never let your spouse buy furniture because, "You can [I]make it."

:D

Of course, I wear safety glasses, a dust mask, ear protection and finish with latex gloves, so many simply do not apply. But.....Nice one, mom and dad.

You city slicker woodworkers can only count to 9? Those of us country bumpkins can count to 19 in the summer time barefooted.

No, that means I should split a pair of aces.

#2 is definitely correct for me. Certain woods take me to happy land as well. 9 times out of 10 that I go to the yard I will stand by the aromatic cedar, close my eyes and just breath ;-)
