Woodworking terms that you have coined

[Cameron Wood]

Many years ago I made kitchen cabinets. Having had the infuriating experience, as you've probably had as well, of reaching into a face frame cabinet and raking the skin off the back of my hand on the sharp inside FF edge, I make sure that my work doesn't cause this.

I call it friendling the edges i.e. to make friendly.

What terms have you come up with?

[Brian Tymchak]

I think the TOS prevents me from sharing any that I've come up with.... ;)

[Steve Jenkins]

Not just woodworking. “You’ve got be smarter than what you’re working with “

[Edward Weber]

Squond
This is mostly used when turning and easing off corners of a square blank until it's neither square or round.
Bruising
This is a turning term when you compress the fibers with the heel of the gouge (when making an inside cut mostly) and leave a mark or indentation.
There are more but as you can tell, I was at the lathe, so this is what popped into my head

[Rich Engelhardt]

Not mine and only sounds like it might be wood related - - my brother used to refer to what the dog left in the yard on cold mornings as - steam logs.

[George Yetka]

Not just woodworking. “You’ve got be smarter than what you’re working with “

A foreman I had would say "you should be 2x smarter than the tool your working with". The rest of his sayings are good but not PC.

[Michael Burnside]

"I'm always a maker; the worst thing that I could be building is firewood."

[Tom Bender]

Microsteaming is steaming small parts in the microwave oven.
