You know you're a lumberjock when you have 3 cars and a 3 car garage, but the cars have never actually been in the garage.

That was No. 128

 

[Obi]

No.129. You know you're a Lumberjock when you get an article published in a major magazine and ask them to make it in a pdf format so all your friends can get it for free.

Thanks Marc

No. 131 - you know you're a Lumberjock when…. You get all excited about how a knot in a piece of wood looks just like an apple.

 

[scottb]

No. 132 - you know you're a Lumberjock when you pull just as much firewood off the pile for the shop as you do for keeping warm… Look at all this straight grained (practically quartersawn oak!)

haha@ Scott-I was at a market today buying potatoes and they had bins of firewood (hardwood) for sale for $5 / big box.. and I said … "Rick-look, only $5~!!!" and he said, "Debbie, - it's FIREwood.".

 

[scottb]

and you replied, 'but, look at the grain!'

 

[Obi]

Sticks are sticks. One man's firewood is another man's Masterpiece. The difference between a masterpiece and firewood is who's hands it's in. One person sees a toothpick for picking between their teeth, I look at it as something to get glue into a very tight spot. I see it as something to stuff into a screw hole when it's become too large for the screw and needs to be filled. I have about 800 toothpicks in my shop just for the times when I need a little stick and cant find one.

Ever notice the grain in a toothpick? You will now.

 

[scottb]

I've noticed that all the scrap wood deemed only worthy for making pallets is perfectly quartersawn (if you look at it crosswise)...

No 134:

you know you're a lumberjock when you save every piece of wood over 1 board foot. (and every other piece too!

 

[Obi]

No. 135 You know you're a lumberjock when you give your brother-in-law fire wood and then go and take it back, if he doesnt burn it fast enough to suit you.

 

[Corndog]

No. 136…you've got your wife convinced that putting her Diet Coke can on your cast iron tables is grounds for divorce.

Just kiddin' my wife knows better.

 

[schroeder]

No.137 …At a party (this really happened), you hear someone ask your wife what her husbands cologne is and she replies " ode del woodshoppe"...and then she tells them she has spent thousands of dollars for you to wear that fragrance!.

 

[Obi]

Where do I buy that fragrance Schroeder? And does it come in various fragrances like "Walnut, Pine and Cherry"? That just might be an idea for the marketing group.

 

[thomasporter]

No. 138 … You know you're a lumberjack when your snot has the same texture and color as wood filler. (Please don't use your snot people… doesn't work as well)

 

[Obi]

why not? right color, and it gets hard

 

[thomasporter]

No. 139 … You know you're a lumberjack when your nightmares are decorated with IKEA furniture.

 

[scottb]

No. 140 - You know your a lumberjock when you see a new magazine on the shelf at the bookstore, but you don't pick it up because you know (hope) it'll be waiting for you when you get home and check the mailbox…. but then you can't remember if you subscribe to that one or not.

 

[Obi]

You know you're a lumberjock when your yearly magazine subscriptions total more than you make in a week
