Read the thread!
Now, I bring it back to Life!
.#854 YKYALJ (You Know You're A LumberJock) when you do not have a Facebook account, because you wood rather be woodworking.
.#855 YKYALJ when a house in your neighborhood is demolished, you make sure you get to help out, so you can partake of the Free Wood! Did this in Summer '08.
.#856 YKYALJ when your fave TV shows include New Yankee Workshop, This Old House, Hometime, and The Woodright's Shop. I watch almost 0 TV now. Youtube, now, that is a whole 'nother ball of wood.
.#857 YKYALJ when you took the back seat out of your car, so more wood will fit, and to keep the seat from getting messed up, for the times it must be put back for it's intended function.
.#858 YKYALJ when you have read the entire Workbench Smackdown thread. I did it last December.
.#859 YKYALJ when you think Lion-O (of Thundercats fame) took up woodworking, and hangs out on this site, going by the nickname BigRedKnothead.
.#860 YKYALJ when you see a book with wood and tools on the cover, so you pick it up and browse it, only for your heart to fall, because it turned out to be a penmanship book. This happened when i was 10 y.o., while at a mall.
.#861 YKYALJ when you find a boatload of free wood, only to find out the whole thing was just a dream.
.#862 YKYALJ when you see a bunch of miniature houses on TV, and you get excited thinking you're gong to learn how they're built, only to find out it is the intro to a show called Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, which has nothing to do with WW. (Yuck! Boring! Where's the excitement in that!? I want a show that shows you how to build things!) This happened when I was 9 y.o.
.#863 YKYALJ when you learn how to fix whatever it is you drive, so you're spending only on parts, saving $$ for tools. Did this in August '13, when the gaskets went out in my car's engine.
.#864 YKYALJ when you've actually considered building a truck out of wood. I have, back in Fall '11, after reading about the Splinter, the wooden supercar. I wonder, what happened to that project?
.#865 YKYALJ when you wonder what you have built in your past lifetimes.
.#866 YKYALJ when you start you own WW channel on YouTube. (I have that one on the table)
.#867 YKYALJ when you cross your WW hobby with your other hobbies. I have made wooden pieces to go with my LEGO stuff. And built cabinets and shelves for storing and displaying my LEGO bricks and creations.
.#868 YKYALJ when it is easier to build something than to draw it on a piece of paper.
.#869 YKYALJ when you hate the fact that wood (and many other words) have perverted meanings.
.#870 YKYALJ when you learn another language, you learn all the woodworking words faster you learn the rest. Here's a few: Holzbearbeitung (woodworking) bauen (to build) der Werkzeug (the tool) die (pronounced Dee) Säge (the saw) der Hobel (the plane) die Hobelbank (the workbench). Look 'em up
here .
.#871 YKYALJ when you look forward to hanging out with LJ's that speak the language you are learning.
.#872 YKYALJ when you wish you could add more, but cannot think of any more.
