...if you go all the way to Washngton DC for vacation and the first place you go is the Renwick Gallery to see the Greene & Greene exhibit and you are the only one crawling around on your hands and knees looking UNDER the amazing pieces with the guard watching your every move.Oh, and no photos were allowed.
But my wife actually enjoyed it as well.
Happy and Safe Turning, Don

That was freakin' hilarious!When the cuffs on your pants, shirts, sox, hat, ass crack and belly button all have more sawdust in them than the floor.
You might be a woodworker if you keep every scrap of wood in hopes of using it on some project unforeseen in the distant future.
It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.

You may be a woodworker if you have more wood in your hands than Pinnochio.

if when you sneeze, you sneeze sawdust instead of snot.

...if your clothes are old and faded, but your tools are shiney and new...or at least shiney.

You have every glue known to mankind in your shop.
Instead of watching the game, you're salvaging pallets from overseass.
You never have to buy wood chips for the grill/smoker.
Look at a magestic oak and "see" the lumber it contains.
Keep an ongoing shop grocery list.
Hate the house vacuum cleaner, love the Shop Vac.
Addicted to how-to magazines, web sites, and tool catalogs.
Every year Christmas wish list includes shop towels, clamps, clamps, and more clamps.

When the wife says "Are you ready to go to bed", you say no I am going to the shop and work a little.

If you have a cedar chip hanging from your trucks rear view mirror instead of the little felt tree, Craig

If you buy painter's tape to prevent chip out rather than for painting.
If the best present you ever got was an old pile of wood that had been stuck in some guys barn for 50 years.
If you can talk about butt joints and don't even think about cracking a smile.
If you keep a spare change of clothes in your shop so you can go straight from work to your latest project without having to go up stairs.
If you wake up on the weekend extra early so you can get a jumpr start on finishing your project so you can get at least three or four coats in before you have to go back to work.
If you secretly smile when your kids break your old store bought furniture so you can build something of your own.

If you know that the diy shows "expert" is wrong when she claims that the flooring is oak.
