You dive your neighbors dumpster for a few pine boards or

you know your a wood worker when your wife says "honey, how much money did you spend on the tools in the basement? Your heart races, and your first thought is, do I tell the truth or lie?

True! And when the president talks about a "shellac-ing" you think about wood finishing.

You know you are a woodworker when your antennae go up when you hear a national network radio announcer refer to shellac as a lacquer.

You know you're a woodworker when you stop past garage sales, and the only two things you're interested in are tools and old furniture that might have good enough wood to build something else.

When you select your wood not only for it's color and grain but for it's smell.

oh...

When you no longer have the ability to smell polyurethane.

Hmmmm, this sounds like Kelsey the wonder Dog. While one our morning walks she snife ten pieces of wood for each one she picks up. She then rattles those picked up in her mouth for a minute. One out of ten or twelve picked up will remain in her mouth for several minutes. Some of those that last are chewed others become treasured yard toys. She does the same with wood chunks hitting the floor of the shop. This pup likes only the finest hardwoods. Fjimp

I love the conneseur gene in a dog.

You know you are a woodworker when...

...you have a dog that is picky about the wood he/she brings home.

...you try to figure out if you can use that 1" square piece of wood or should it be thrown away to ensure you still have a grip on reality. It ends up going in the "save" bin.

...you have many answers to "You know you are a woodworker when".
