#402 Someone comes over to your house and absolutely must know where you bought that incredible piece of furniture….... and you coyly smile from ear to ear and say…......"I built it".

 

was that #403 Alphie?

So, Karson, how's your #391 - now that it has a name

 

#404 when your brand new Rockler and Fine Woodworking magazines that you just got yesterday are crumpled up and ripped because you've read each 5 times already.

#405 when your parents/wife wont let you into the house until all the sawdust is off of you (and we all know thats never gonna happen)

#406 when your special tv time is 830 to 1100 on Saturday so you can watch all diy's woodworking shows

#407 when you spend more time in your shop than in your actual house (or at least you try to)

 

Scott. # 391 is still sitting in the driveway.

 

well, I'm sure I speak for all of us, when I say we can't wait to see "Cigar Pen #391, Eurostyle Pen #391 and Boxes #391 a, b, and c.

 

#408 You might be a LumberJock when you take pictures of a LumberJocks shop and don't take any of the owner.

 

#409 When you open up Lumberjocks, & find a surprise, like the new 3D gallery, Martin just created.

 

#410 Wake up @3:00 to read this

 

Quote from Mark DeCou
"No. 21: you quit a good paying, easy job, with a climate controlled environment, with vacation
time, 401(K), sick pay, bereavement pay, and a company car, just so you can work hard for
10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, sweating in a 100 degree shop, smelling sawdust, with
no vacations, no retirement, have to work even when you're sick, make less than minimum
wage at times……....just so you can spend more time working with wood."

Man! Tell me about it! Aint that the TRUTH!!!

 

#411 You might be a Lumberjock when you find out a fellow Lumber jock is stopping by, so you cut some scrap walnut without turning on the dust collector, just so the shop smells good.

 

that is funny

 

#412 You might be a Lumberjock when you get back to work after four days off and realize you miss your shop.

 

#413 You might be a Lumberjock when you take down the family photo from the wall to use the nail to see how your project will look hanging.
#414 You have "handmade by mike linn" branded on you arm ( a slip of the branding iron)

 

#414 You know you are a Lumberjock when you build a jig to make another jig.

 

 

...when you stop taking vacations from work and start practicing for retirement (in the shop, of course).

 

WHAT!? WHAT!? WHAT'S AN UMBER CLOCK!???

 

#417 When you spend more time looking for tools that you just had in your hand, than you do actually working the wood.

 

#418 You just spent 2 hours reading these

 

#419 You give your son your tools so you can buy new ones

 

#420 You check Craig's List every day for free lumber

 

#421 You check Craig's list Material to see if there is anything you can't live without

 

#422 You check the Craig's List tool section to buy near new premium tools with hardly any wear and 1/2 the price of new.

 

#423 You continually remodel areas of your house just to have a project.

 

#424 You encourage your son to buy a 1900 house so you can spend the time with him completely rebuilding the house and using all your battery operated tools.
