Wife caught me with tool porn tonight

[Scott Coffelt]

I just received my new Lie Nielsen 2005/2006 catalog and FWW magazine. I was like going uuu and aaahhh. She told me if I didn't put it away she would. What to do?

[Bruce Page]

I received mine today too - and got the same reaction!

[Corey Hallagan]

Scott, if she is like my wife she knows that those oooh's and aahhhs are followed by dropping endless hints and then finally her dragging me around the house while I hang on to her legs begging for an OK to a new tool :)

Corey

[Bernie Weishapl]

Got mine today to. Corey you must be lucky. When I hang on my wifes leg begging she is generally hitting me with a fly swatter say no, no, no. What part of no don't you understand.

[Dev Emch]

Shame on your guys! Tiss tisss..... Your wife is right. You should not be looking at the smut. I cannt believe you have allowed yourself to be drawn into that stuff. Next you will be downloading dirty pictures from warren, maine.

Dont you know your wives are right. You should not be reading the material of one of my competitors.:p

But at least their stuff is cheaper than mine but my stuff takes much longer to make.

Did you notice that they now have the hot dog handle available for the #9. Been asking for that for some time.

And I just love to read the sidebars about the use of meehanite type irons and stress relief of castings albeit of the thermal process. For guys making a mass produced product, my hat goes off to them. They are doing quite a few things correctly.

Well....... I guess that depends on what exactly she asked you to put away Scott! :D

[Michael Stafford]

Well, I am the Emperor of the North Pole!!!

I keep my tool catalogs and woodworking magazines out on the end tables in the family room all the time. I look at them whenever SHE is not in the room. Sometimes I take them to the throne room and drool but I have to do it quietly. But to actually use one, to dial the "800" number I have to go behind her back and ask permission, usually on bended knee. My wife is very understanding. She lets me have my tool porn but I have to use it in private. When friends come over we have to put it out of sight. We are not ashamed of my collection it is just that the other wives won't allow their husbands to come over if my collection is in plain view. They give me ugly disproving looks......:o :p

[Kirk (KC) Constable]

You guys kill me. It doesn't work for everyboidy, but it works for us...her money, my money, and our money. I don't ask, and she doesn't care. And I keep my mouth shut when she buys the expensive makeup and pays Weight Watchers $12 a week to tell her the same things they've been telling her on and off for 10 years. :D

[john looser]

Us bachelors have it made .we can have our dirty wood working magazines laying around everywhere. if we get bored we can just go out and get more. instead of buying her christmas and anniversary gifts, we go out and blow all our dough on some great tools.:D how sweet it is.

[Jeff Sudmeier]

My wife lets me have all the tool porn I want, but it must either stay in the garage or in my basement rec room, beside the PS2. :)

I always say I am "going to my laire"

That's just plane dirty talk... stop it.

How lucky that I'm still single.:D :p :D

When I first read this I almost reported you because I believe that the SMC TOS prohibits the discussion of religion (tool company worship) on all it's forums...but as I read it again it doesn't specifically prohibit the discussion of fantasies...so I recommend you go to your shop...turn on the TS so she can't hear your moans. However...remember what your mother said about going blind applies in this case too.

BINGO!!!!:D :cool:

[Dave Tinley]

I have my woodworking mags/catalogs and she has her gardening mags and catalogs. I think its a dead heat as to who has the most.
BUT- I am moving up to videos. Can't wait till the new CMT raised panel door video arrives. hehehe


I am in the same situation as KC, she has her money, I have mine and then there is the household money. (must be a TEXAS thing :D )

She will wander into the shop every so often to see what might be new.

LOL! We use the same system. I never say a word when she goes to the beauty salon every 4 weeks and drops $130 - she always looks pretty much the same to me!

Your time will come! :eek: :D :eek:

[James Ayars]

Bruce, my mom always makes a point of telling my dad when she leaves to go to the beauty parlor. That way he knows to say her hair looks nice when she comes home. She got tired of coming home and him not noticing she had her hair fixed and he got tired of being trouble every two weeks.
James

[Bernie Weishapl]

There is another saying around our household that my wife uses quite freqently. What is yours is mine, what is our's is mine and what is mine is mine. Generally followed by "and don't forget it!!":D I guess that is why it has been 38 yrs. She says I follow the rules well.:eek:

[Robert Mayer]

I just made sure my wife got her gardening catalog from lee valley and she never bugs me about mine, hehe.

James, I always tell her how nice she looks - papa didn't raise no fool! ;)

Don't tell her she looks the same or you will be sleepping in the shop!!

Bernie has the same deal in his house that is this house, (NOT :rolleyes: MY house), her house.

Ditto for me. She doesn't complain or question why I need this or that. Plus as long as I make things she wants, that's cool. But the big plus is I don't question her about her weekly nail appointments, hair coloring, etc or buying useless things for the house -- at least I think, but don't say aloud, they are useles. After all she could say the same about my purchase.
Kirk, your the man!!!!

[Bart Leetch]

The LOML doesn't even notice the catalogs & magazines set by my chair & on my night stand & I pick up & thumb through them so often that its just part of the day. She would probably notice if I didn't look at them or something on the internet & then she would want to take my temperature to see if I was sick or something.:D

[Don Baer]

actualy LOML looks at my tools porn with me. She wants me to tell her which one I like the best and then she will usual give it to me....:D

[Gary Herrmann]

SWMBO is just fine with tool porn. She even looks at some of it with me - mostly articles on finishing. She's even ok with purchases less than $100. She didn't even blink when I mentioned the kbody sale at LV - she knows about the clamp thing. I need to place that order...

Orders much over $100 she needs to "discuss" Unless its for a piece of furniture she wants, then I've gotten away with a bit more quite easily. She knows a cabinet saw is out there somewhere and isn't happy about it.

Jewelry porn. Now that scares the heck out of me.

[Waymon Campbell]

Ditto for me... As far what to do, well, pre-gloat alert !!! I just placed an order for an item on page 177:D :D :D

Must be, 'cause that's the way it is in our household too! Saves a ton of time on "confrontations":)

[Dev Emch]

There are two primary tests a first date must pass. ONE). She must like dogs and in particular, my slobbering spoiled labrador. No dog likie likie, no second date. TWO). She must have and interest in at least minimal woodworking. Its hard to live with someone who does not like woodworking because we all spend so much time and effort on it. Right now, my wallace jointer restoration project has been sitting on the kitchen table for about 4 months now. Have not had a chance to move it and work on it seriously. Most wives would have blown a gasket over this one. I guess that is why I am blisfully single.

You can tell I am single. Last night, I was shooting mice in the baseboard radiators with my Dad's old welby pellet pistol while watching TV.

But who could forget the home depot add. Guys buys new tools. Neighbor comes over and checks them out. He says, but I thought you could only get those if you bought the wife a new dining room set. The other guys says, your standing on it. Pan down. Pile of rough, cut hardwood lumber.

Gary if that is you in the picture you don't look quite tall enough to reach the top of a cabinet-saw. Come on you can't had behind a young picture for ever.

You know not to tell her that, right???? :rolleyes: :eek:

Brian, see post # 21 ;)

Bruce, you need to do a spellcheck.

This stuff is viagra for woodworkers.

Thats me in the robe behind my son. I'm 6'7". Is that tall enough? :D

I was thinking that I should update my pic while I was mowing today. Next time we take pictures, I'll try to point the camera at something other than my son or the dogs. I may have to buy one of those soft focus filters tho...

I've been thinking of updating my pic, but haven't gotten around to it. Next time the camera is out, I'll have her point the thing at something other than our son or the animals. Maybe I should have her buy a soft focus filter first...

Oops, went to a blank page the first time. And I didn't even get an extra post. Dang.
