    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.

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

    True, but it sticks when pushed in. I get it from the barber shop
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    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 may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    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.

    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???
