What your pet aversion?

[les88]

Mine is not laying a plane on its side when not in use. In the old days when we had tool boxes with all our hand tools [power tools not invented yet] in was keeping the edge on the plane blade. I know back the blade off, but I forget easily. So in the box I made compartments for the planes with the front held off the bottom with a small piece of wood. A lot of pics on woodwork forums show the plane resting on the blade, my blood runs cold.
BTW most of our jambs were in need of a clean up, so I bought a Badger plane for the job., wish I still had it, I think it went the way of my german jack and the 4 jointer and the Stanley 45. But I have a mate who still has his 45 and is selling it to me.

1/ People who borrow the same tool every day (FOR G## SAKE BUY YOUR OWN)

2/ Tradesmen who have to borrow basic tools (a carpenter who forgot to bring his hammer)

Concrete.
Concrete + Timber = dent haven. Yep I know, it's a tad bizzare.

And sanding lines on my turnings.

And hypocrites.

Stupid blokey competition that causes major stuffups......uno, people insistant on doing it 'their' way without consideration. Types that when they eventually do stuff up, are too proud even to say ' I WAS WRONG ' .

Up there with pmt that. And working with a bloke that doesn't stop farting.

When you go the deli at the supermarket and buy some supposedly fresh quality sliced meat... you get home to only find its slimey and gone off. Fresh food people... my ass!

My pet hate for woodworking is the disdain others (particularly my dad) show to boards that have just been jointed and thicknessed.

I keep saying - WATCH THE DAMN EDGES!

And he keeps banging the boards around, only to be surprised when the dents show after glue up.

Second pet hate is dust extraction. The "most used" tools in my shed are my Metabo vacuum (which gets moved from the mitre saw to the router table to the table saw to the FMT to the orbita sander) and my dust extractor (which moves from the sliding table saw to the planer to the rip saw to the other router table).

Small glue dobs on the bench. That's why I run the scraper over my bench and oil it after every glue-up.

Empty spaces on the shadow board

I absolutely detest shadow boards.

[craigb]

People who put their feet on the train seats.

People who leave their personal waste behind.

Kids who think that it's "artistic" to spray their ugly crappy graffiti over public property.

Dip sh#ts who aren't considerate of other people.

Woodworking: Pencils that've been dropped and had the lead shattered all the way through. You know the ones... you sharpen a pencil and the first time you use it the end drops out. Resharpen, try again with the same result. Rinse & repeat until you throw the bastard in the bin and hunt down another.

The worst of it is, you know that the next time you need a pencil this will be the only one you can find...



Non-woodwork: social chatter. eg at BBQ's... Why is it that so many people take 15 minutes to say absolutely nothing, when a simple nod of the head in your general direction conveys as much information without wasting valuable drinking time? [sigh]

[Sturdee]

When members don't acknowledge the advice given in reply to a question asked by them. They may not like the advice given but not acknowledging the effort gone in replying is a complete lack of manners and insulting.


Also those members who only come on line to ask a question and then disappear until they need another question answered. A bit of involvement and posting non questions as well as questions is what keeps this board alive.


Both of the above are my pet aversions and I consider those members leeches and I don't reply to those anymore.
