I hate it when this happens
Anyone want to tell me how a 4 foot length of 1 X 6 T&G can go missing
in a shed that is only 10 X 12? I spent three hours milling it two weeks ago and now when I need it - POOF! Well, they say the second thing to go is the memory. FoggyTown "Cut to shape . . . pound to fit." |

Other problem may be new species of termites that have evolved (due to environmental polution or other stuff) into larger more voratious pests that leave no sawdust or trace. |

Well, at least it's better than my usual brain fart which is merrily
working away and suddenly realising that the container which I have now raised to within 1/2" away from my mouth is the plastic cup containing the turpentine and not my tea! FoggyTown "Cut to shape . . . pound to fit." |

I made two solid wood doors for a project I am making, and one of them has
just vanished completely. It HAS to be in my garage/shop somewhere, but I have turned it inside out three times and can only find one of them. Wayne "foggytown" wrote in message oups.com...

I have found the only way to have a "marking device"
anywhere in my shop: (1) Go to Office Depot and buy case(s) of pencils. (2) Walk through shop and lay two or more on every flat surface in shop. (3) Stand at one end of shop and throw large groups of pencils in all directions. (4) Go to other end of shop and repeat step (3). (5) Repeat process about once a month. The same process is used for tape measures. NoOne N Particular wrote: I now have 7 tape measures in my garage/shop. Even at that, there is NEVER one within reach when I need it. |

My 'Building Construction Illustrated' went missing last week I checked every bookshelf in the house, under the bed, bathrooms, truck, truck bed, behind/under truck seats, made three trips to the shop, went through all the cabinets and shelves there, did it again, did it once more ... and finally borrowed my architect's copy. Walked in the shop Monday morning and there it was sitting on a cabinet shelf in plain sight.

Ever gone to look for your sandpaper and not have the right grit? So
you make a run down to the HW store and pick up $3 worth, that with gas and mileage probably makes it a $5 hit to the wallet. Get home and use the sandpaper and then need some clever place to store it? Inevitably I decide to put it right on top of paper that is the exact grit I was trying to find originally ... foggytown wrote: Anyone want to tell me how a 4 foot length of 1 X 6 T&G can go missing in a shed that is only 10 X 12?

Interestingly enough, it seems to be a contest between the woodworker and the inanimate objects. For example....A few months ago, I bought a case of 500 carpenter's pencils off Ebay, as I was tired of buying them one at a time every week or two at Home Depot. Well, about three days after I put the box of pencils in the shop, about half a dozen of the other, missing pencils surfaced. It's not like I cleaned house either...they just appeared, laying on tool surfaces, sawdust piles, etc...exactly as if they had seen the case of pencils, and given up the game of hide-and-seek. FWIW, there are few odors more pleasant than the one I got when opening that box the first time. The waft of combined Cedar, graphite and paint was just a great and enjoyable experience.
