147:
When you're running out of space to store your back issues of old woodworking magazines. Example: 199 issues of Wood Magazine, Workbench Magazine since 1957.

And many others.

 

148:

when you no longer get slivers and bleed because you have both so many calouses and dryed glue on your hands

 

149:

When you always spell the word would like "wood".

 

150

when you are sitting outside and hear a router or table saw that belongs to your neighbor and you can tell the blade and bit is dull….. just by the sound it is making

 

151:

You know you're a lumberjock when it takes you longer to look through your back issues to find a project, than it does to make them.

152:

and while you're going though the back issues, (regardless of how many you have) you remember every project in them.

 

No. 153. You know you're a Lumberjock if you tear apart all of your back issues of wood magazines and put the articles in seperate binders according to their topic, each article in it's own plastic protector.

 

Last Wed, the day after my birthday, while I was at the Woodworkers club making toys for Christmas, my wife showed up and surprised me by making the food to feed all of the workers there that day. She made a little poem to give to all of the men and women working.

LumberJocks Have:

Sawdust in their hair,
But, I guess that's only fair.
Sap running in their veins,
But, it's of a very good grain!
The men chew wood for lunch,
They are a knotty bunch.
Whenever they cut and saw,
The Lord does bless them all!

 

aaaaaaaw
gotta love all these women behind the lumberjocks!! (And all the female lumberjocks of course)

 

That just reminded me that Noah was a Lumberjock. "Vooo-pah, vooo-pah,vooo-pah…. riiight."

No 154 You just might be a Lumberjock when you're building a boat, when no one has ever heard of rain before.

Based upon the information which gathered, Noah's Ark does exist on Mount Ararat also known as Mount Judi by some Muslim scholars. It has been preserved all of these years by the hand of God and exists the ice fields on Ararat.

No 155 You know you're a good Lumberjock, when your boat is still around 4,000 - 5,000 years after you built it.

 

That's funny Obi… just be 'Cos.

 

#156 You might be a Lumberjock if you make a cut list for a project you will never build and think you are having fun.

 

#157 You might be a lumberjock if you think sharpening a wooden pencil is considered woodworking

 

No. 158 You just might be a Lumberjock when you use a work bench as a kitchen table, or a kitchen table as a work bench.

 

No. 159 You know you're a Lumberjock when all of the wood pieces in your home have been altered.

 

Or is that when you have made all the wood pieces in your home?

 

either, or both, I'd say.

I'm (eventually) stripping all the painted wood surfaces in my home (baseboards, maybe the doors) revealing some great looking oldgrowth pine.

One door in progress, which is oak, might have to repaint that one as there is over a century's worth of dents, dings, from mild to severe. One door has a crack in a raised panel that you can see through! that somebody tried to cover with layers of poor paint jobs.

 

No. 160 you know you're a lumberjock when you use your Shop Apron when you BBQ

 

No. 161 you know you're a lumberjock when you drive past your favorite wood store . . . . you salute and reverently encourage any others in the car to do the same.

 

No. 162 You know you are a LumberJock, when all of your woodworking friends send messages of encourgement and prayers when you are sick or ill.

 

No. 163 You know you are a Lumberjock when your Christmas list that you give to your wife consists of your favorite woodworkers catalog with appropriate pages dog-eared and the desired items circled…

No. 164 You know you are a Lumberjock when your in-laws say "thank you for the shelf" with a gift card to your favorite woodworkers supply store

No. 165 You know you are a Lumberjock when you would rather be in the shop working than watching a game on TV.

No. 166 You know you are a Lumberjock when you take the doors from the microwave cart you built your inlaws, to fix that minor defect that no one else knows is there because it bugs you the 6 times a year that you see it.

No. 167 You know you are a Lumberjock when you find that you just spent your entire lunchtime reading this list and coming up with your own to add

 

No. 168:

You know you're a lumberjock when you start off trying to make advanced level projects in a brand new medium, rather than take baby steps. (and manage to do a good job of it.)

Well I could build a doghouse, but I think I'll try making a 3 story Barn first and see how that goes…"

 

This is in reply to Dennis' telling me I had nice legs.

No. 169 You know you're a lumberjock when you as a forum full of men "You want to see my legs"?

 

Nice Legs Obi!

 

This Guy IS a Lumberjock

 

I wonder if he made it out of "scraps"

(oh and re: # 169-add "chests" to the list. )
