The Difinitive Question - are you a REAL woodworker ?

[AlexS]

Jeez, I think I'm an imposter - full beard, going bald AND bare forearms from checking that the planes & chisels are sharp.

If we were meant to shave, we would have been born without beards.

[echnidna]

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

Grow a goatee and take up painting nude.
Unless of course your nude body will frighten away your models. :eek:

[Grunt]

Gumby, you ain't a real woodworker. Hair doesn't grow on plasticine.

True, but it sticks when pushed in. I get it from the barber shop

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Shave? What's that? :confused:

Hmmm... lessee... beard? Yup. Moustache? Check, should do something about it one day; I'm tired of eating it. Flannel shirt? Ayup. Complete with a severe case of shoulder-sawdust in lieu of dandruff. (SWMBO's growing tired of my dismantling the washing machine to de-pulp the pump.) Even got a permanent sag in my belt where the tape measure usually clips.

Does this mean I'm a REAL woodworker?

Then why do my projects turn out as such crap? I don't care what anyone else says, I've yet to build anything I am 100% happy with...


Hang on... I think I know where I'm going wrong... gotta cut off the ponytail and shave my head!

I feel better now, Zed just sent me an abusive pm. Thanks mate.
Also just heard that the wife's breast cancer scare is only cysts. Life doesn't get any better.
Thought you all needed to know that.
I know I feel relieved and very thankful.

ive got the beard most of the time and a mustache always. when i wax the mustache out straight, you can see both ends of it when you are standing behind me, gets a bit messy when eating pizza

So what do you use for wax?

[Stuart]

what about no facial hair and little up top.....

I can't get past the itchiness to grow a beard.....it drives me insane till i shave it off

Sounds like someone needs to drink a few more Redbacks....and harden up

[doug the slug]

So what do you use for wax?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

[Gumby]

Pony tail ? So you're a muso as well eh.

[Harry72]

What about if yer job wont let you grow a beard!(actualy its illegal by gov standard and OH&S)
As result I only can have one for 4 weeks a year... like right now on holi's ya see.

:

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:

Yep thats me. Facial hair and very little up top. Full head of hair mind you but very little up top otherwise I wouldn't still be working.

Does that make me an impostor? Or am I only pretending to be an impostor???
