    Default The Definetive Question - are you a REAL woodworker ?

    From what i've seen, REAL woodworkers have facial hair but very little up top.

    Where do you fit in (or are you an impostor !) :eek:

    I went the beard option as I only shave once every three weeks.

    Although I work for two weeks then shave just before I go home for a week, so technically when I am home and have the opportunity to do some wood work I don't have a beard :confused:

    Cheers, Jack

    Yes I'm of Italian heritage, but it would be scary if I had a beard or a moustache.... "Dan" standing for Danielle of course....

    Well sorry to blow your theory out of the water - beard and mo here.
    Am I an imposter because I LOOK like an advanced woodworker ( or is that actually the secret )

    So you would definately have a moustache then.
    Is there anything easier done than said?

    It's funny, I grow hair from everywhere except my lengthening fivehead (& palms/soles/etc) & the only place I bother to shave is my beard 'cos I'm a messy eater.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    but where oh where does the "not able to grow in the sides so I go with a goatee" category fit in.

    Please note

    I am a wood butcher not a woodworker so I dont even claim to be an imposter

    What about if you've got a flanellete shirt but no beard?

    Is that immediately impostor or do you get some respect for having the flanny?

    Inquiring minds would like to know. :confused:
