What drives the common woodworker?

A sordid and shameful fetish for wearing checked shirts.

The
insecurities of being a non-intellectual blue-collar common man with
calluses on his hands and feet?

Don't miss out my knuckle callouses ! I spent years dragging them on
the ground to get those.

My local dealer in fine woodworking tools is (deliberately) sandwiched
between two hospitals and the street of the violin restorers. The
owner was a doctor, a great many of the clients are surgeons. Look at
any group of really top-end amateur cabinetmakers and you'll find at
least one surgeon in there.
