The Difinitive Question - are you a REAL woodworker ?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

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

Yeah, I play percussion and wood(wind), with the odd bit of brass & string on the side. Although I do prefer the electrics.

There's naught quite like the sweetly singing note of a powersaw as it rips through a sweet bit of lumber. Except when I hit the occasional wrong knot.

REAL WOODWORKERS DON'T BOTHER WITH ANY HAIR WHATSOEVER ABOVE THE NECKLINE!!!

Gets in the road of fast spinning things doesn't it

And I'd also like to know how my poll about Fawlty Towers got changed to something sensible yet this one survived?

[RufflyRustic]

Sorry I'm late, couldn't get any pages to load last night :mad:
Gumby you doofhead, could you please add another poll option for Tikki, Jill, Flea, Helga and myself and any others I've missed........... I really don't want to own up to waxing the moustache..... :eek:

And yes, I do consider myself a true woodworker..... others may call me lots of other things, mad, driven, obsessed... all would be true.

cheers

What ? Change the poll ? No, that would be discrimination based of one's sex and therefore illegal. It's an asexual world. If you don't have facial hair, and lot's of it, you aren't true woodworkers either. You'll have to vote 3 like the rest of us did.

If any of you vote 2, I'm putting you on my ignore list

[RufflyRustic]

Bah Humbug!!! Never thought I'd ever answer to imposter[sic], but I suppose there's always a first time

or impostor even (I stuffed the spelling agin)

A greying winter coat I grow, for exactly 3 months. A seasonal thing, although I'd probably keep it on all the time except for...the company of females.

Cheers,

C'mon you guys all get moustaches every time you drink a latte at the hairdressers!!!

I went to the Perth WWW show last Sunday. My young bloke came with me. He's 24. At one point, we were standing near the Old Tools stall and he said to me:

"Eh, Dad - do you realise you're the only bloke older than me in this room who doesn't have a beard? What's the matter with you - don't you want to look like a real woodworker?"

I looked around and he was right.

I carefully put down the little corner brace I was studying and - head down - snuck away.

I related this tale to my life's partner and my daughter when I got home and was firmly advised that any sign of grey whiskers longer than a weekend's growth would meet with disapproval from both female family members.

This is a bit rich, considering that I had the full set when we first met. Mind you, I wasn't a natural platinum blond in those days - which I am now!

Grow one driver, use the excuse that you're gunna get a job as santa to buy more tools

Does having a goatee and a moustache make me half an expert woodworker

Ten years ago, I had a full beard and moustache ... and a pony tail I could grab by reaching behind me (bout halfway down me back).

Now I'm clean shaven with greyish hair surrounding a bald patch that I'm currently developing to it's full glory.

Why the change? I'm nuts ... but you knew that

Years ago when I was a m/c flag marshall, we were holding a meeting to discuss the upcoming superbike meeting. Seated around a long table in our favourite pub. 'Bout 20 of us. Beer and insults flying as usual. Well, our treasurer made a rude comment about someone's beard. The room was silent ... then the sniggers - she was the only one in the room without a beard.

BTW, I clicked the last option in the poll

And I'm not a wood worker, I'm a wooden boat builder. Long beards are a hazard because they get stuck in the epoxy and it's hard enough keeping the tools out of the muck without adding bits of yourself :eek:
