I know, I know! Maybe someone should make large posters of it, so woodworkers can hang it their bedrooms above their bed. :D :D

Or maybe in the shop;)

Pretty sure it would clash with the decor and SWMBO would have something (not to nice) to say about it.

Just sayin'

I don't mess with the Home decor (Except to hang pictures, move furniture, and such as directed), she doesn't mess with the shop decor (unless she really wants to and of course as long her car gets put away clean).:D
