What's in a username?

[issatree]

Hi All,
Well, before the Forums, I Adopted the name of " Beenatree ", but another Chap reckoned that it was a good name for a Woodworking Supplies business, & he Registered it, so I had to back off, then thought of " issatree ".
Started out with a Capital "I ", but some how lost it.
The name seems appropriate, so it has stuck.
Lewis.

[artme]

My name is Arthur and when my sister was learning to talk she had trouble saying my name. It came out as 'Artme" and that has stuck evre since. I just decided to use a lower case "a". as a sign in.

On the contrary, Mythbusters proved that you can polish a ####. They were able to achieve a very high gloss just with friction and water.

Sorry for the hijack, username is just my initials.

I just watched Mythbusters polishing a ####... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiJ9fy1qSFI"]Mythbusters polishing a #### [/ame]

They buffed up well, but have you actually tried polishing one with shellac?

[Harry72]

Last name is Harris... Been called Harry since primary school. My MIL thought Harry was my real name for several years until she met my parents Paul??? Who's that she said!
Funny thing is at work they call me Rolf!

Oh and 72 was a good vintage...

[Scribbly Gum]

Wanted a name that related to the tasks of the forum - writing about wood and what we do with it.
Scribbly Gum just seemed appropriate to my scribblings on wood.

Funny that in Europe they were called Opal.


Since a kid I have been around wheels of some form scooters, billy carts, pushies, motor bikes, cars building buses and coaches then driving them (those days I was known as Hoppie) so when I signed up here and now using a wheelchair and turning things round. Wheel'n'round was to be it but I typed wheelinround sort of like when I was driving passengers you'd always have to wheel in behind like a sheep dog and herd them on board.

Now he wants a Bigger Shed
