You might be a woodworker if...

Here are a couple of thoughts to get us started.

You might be a woodworker if... you drive a '78 Ford Pinto with bald tires and no rear window but have the newest Festool in your shop.

You might be a woodworker if... you're watching a football game with your neighbor who yells, "Nice block!" and the first word that comes to your mind is "plane."

You might be a woodworker if... your wife says, "You know, after five years of collecting these gawdawful expensive tools to make firewood, it looks like you might have a clue about what you're doing out here in the garage."

You get the idea. So what comes to mind for you?

You might be a woodworker if...

...You buy a pack of gum at the Stop 'n Go and give the clerk a handful of sawdust along with the change in your pocket.

...You get the Sunday paper and automatically pull out the ads for the BB stores and give the rest of it to your significant other.

...You pray for bad weather, so you can work in your shop rather than outside.

...The total $$ amount for the tools on your "Wish List" is just slightly less than the National Debt.

OK...Next. Let's keep 'em coming!

You're driving down the street - you say WOW ain't that beautiful - and you're not talking about a good looking girl, but a Walnut tree on the ground in someone's yard

Your golf clubs are burried under a mound of woodchips.

You don't have to BUY mulch.

You're turn!

Your neighbor won't speak -- because you laughed at him when he wanted to borrow your shop.
You might be married to a woodworker if????????????
Your wife is willing to fight you for first choise of boards you just bought.
Your shop is insured for more than your house is.
You have been caught---stealing a peice of firewood for your lathe --while on vaction

[Tyler Howell]

If you break for wind fall!

Put a seat belt on your tool box before driving off!

[Michael Stafford]

You might be a woodworker if the wife complains that the lint filter on the washing machine is always filled with sawdust.

You might be a woodworker if some of your best buddies are Saw Mill Creekers that you have never met.

You might be a woodworker if when you cut yourself in the shop your first concern is to get the blood off the wood.

You might be a woodworker if you know the names of more species of wood than you know the names of TV shows.

there is a pile of sawdust and shavings where you take off your shoes in the bedroom
The bedroom is the dustiest room in the house ( Yes dear I do blow off all the dust before I come home)
You're always looking for a pencil

You might be a woodworker if:


Your wife doesn't like the new Griz bandsaw you bought her for mothersday and then asks "by the way...what's a bandsaw?"

[Donnie Raines]

When you go to pull your belly button lint out....and you get sawdust.

When you walk out to your shop just to look at the lumber stacked in the corner.

When you are playing golf and you see a tree with some interesting "things" about it....and you think....."hummmmmmmm".........

When you are eating some banna nut bread and you wonder, "I wonder if these nuts really came from a walnut tree?"......

When you cry at the site of wood being fed into a wood chipper(even though your pretty sure the wood was firewood anyhow...)

When you drive past a Woodcraft/Rockler/Paxton and you know you have to keep driving to the inlaws house for a grill out....and you begin to cry(inside anyhow)....

When you finish a project, you step back and say," Now thats cool!"....

[Jim Stastny]

. . . If you try to convince your wife that those sawdust, footprints on her hall carpet are signs of ghosts in your house.

. . . If you don't own a house with an attached garge, but do own a house with an attached shop.

. . . If your idea of designer colors are Delta grey, DeWalt yellow, and Grizzly green.

Your hot dogs have little notches in them from saw blades

[Jason Roehl]

...you have almost (or have!) wrecked your vehicle while driving by a tree being cut down or at the sound of a chainsaw.

...you go for a drive when you hear a chainsaw.

...you'll put off getting a few things from the grocery store 5 miles away until it's convenient, but you'll drive 100 miles to a saw mill on a whim.

...you'd eat bologna the rest of your life if you knew that's what it would take to get a shop full of woodworking tools.

[Kurt Aebi]

You own a 2-Car Garage and have no room for the cars because your WW'ing equipment takes up all the space.

You follow the Davey or Asplundh guys around when they are cleaning around powerlines.

You won't fill your tank with gas because it may take away from your "TOYL" fund.

The first thing you notice about your friends new Million dollar home is how well or shoddy the trim is mitered!

You notice that doorways, trim, etc. are about 1/8" or so out of level or plumb!

...you want to break away from your European vacation early with your wife because you want to attend a 6-day class on inlays and marquetry at schurchwoodwork in Santa Barbara, CA!
