    Default Women Wood Workers

    I don't have any hangups about WWW (women wood workers) but are there difficulties if both the man and the woman are wood workers?

    not likely to have a wife so I voted if the question was posed with husband substituted for wife )

    I reckon two sheds are the go, maybe within cooee of each other.
    no-one said on their death bed I wish I spent more time in the office!

    I've invited the missus down to the shed on a number of occasions (keep it clean) but the offer has yet to be taken up. She's not really the arty-crafty type. More of a sports person. She made a cross-stitch once when she was expecting.

    Already share the shed ... a condition for a larger space but very distinct work areas

    If my wife wanted to do woodwork I would share the shed and the tools. But if she wanted to have her own shed and tools she would have to get a job and pay for them herself as it is to expensive to set up a second shed on a pension.

    Thumbs down

    Can't convince SWMBO to try woodworking, but that doesn't stop her from thinking the shop would make an excellent dog grooming parlour.
    Don't mind for our dogs, but not having the fleas from all those other mongrels she grooms running round the shop floor.
    Rather build an extension to the shop than the above alternative

    If your wife was a wood worker....
    Would you share the same workshop?Should both of you dress like ozwinner in the workshop?
    Would you share the same tools?


    DOES A TICK FOR THE ABOVE MEAN 'YES' OR 'NO'?????

    No - we will each have different sheds and tools

    NO WAY AT ALL - If swmbo takes up wood work , I will abandon my shed to her and take up cross-stitch


    A tick in the above two means that u agree with what is asked.

    However it does not make sense ticking any of the top three. Is this a poll for the sake of having a poll?

    Reminds me of the guy that said he had a very clever dog. If he said to it " are you coming or not" It either came or didn't.

    Have a nice day

    Jeez, take it easy Joe, are you the poll nazi now?

    Of course a tick means yes. If you agree, you tick it, if you disagree you don't.

    It's just a bit of fun.

    We would share the same workshop, not tools and not be there at the same time...I would in fact be cross-stitching while she was there, but still retain use of the stuff at other times.

    As for dress: She I think would go for the Ozwinner look, but as we all know, silk jammies are just not my go.

    Will the outcome of this poll impact on the next federal election at all? Seems to me that a lot of the wooden heads in Canberra need to be very very afraid!

    Cheers,

    of course it will - regardless of the party who wins some of the members will be retired by their constituents. so they may even end up being online woodies!!

    Hey Darren

    Not a poll nazi! LOL . Thanks for the explanation because now this 'thick guy' in the west can also cast a vote. If this was a federal or state poll, then ofcourse it wasn't necessary to know what one is voting for. Seems like with every election there is a hell of a lot of people that don't anyway.

    SWMBO can use my workshop, provided she cleans up after her.....um um and me! Dunno about using the same tools though.

    I bet there's a few people in Florida who wish they'd paid a bit more attention

    Its hard enough keeping my shed tidy with all her damn horse gear as it is. and she loses anything with a sharp edge to it that she can find to open her chaff bags.
