Bunch o' guys that hang out on another forum got together in
September/October to mill a free maple. the tree was part of a homestead,
planted in 1880, and used to like the driveway, the owners wanted it to got

After a couple of weekends cutting, milling (Alaskan chain saw mill) and 8
weeks being kiln dried (in and out of the kiln 12 times to relieve the

YOU SUCK!

Sorry, that was the obligatory response.

You ARE going to resticker/restack that pile, right?

You do have other wood available. Even curly
maple could get boring on the 20th piece. Or
maybe not.

Let's see, resaw to 1/16th inch, 30 pieces
per plank x 1000 = 30,000! You could do
ALL the walls and ceiling in your house and
have plenty left over!

YOU REALLY, REALLY SUCK!

Microbrew did play a rather large roll in the manufacturing process of this
pile of solid sawdust(not at the same time the chainsaws were doing their
thing though). So too did several container loads of chocolate chip cookies
and a rather large bull named Thor.. but that's another story for another

Do you have some theological objection to speaking the truth? This guy
sucks so much they need to modify the OED and put his name into the
definition of the word. The only way he could possibly suck more would be
if the whole mess had been black walnut, and someone had paid him to take
it, and some little ol' widder wimminz had given him $50,000 worth of
industrial iron for free to get it out of her barn and make more room for
her cats.

I'm a beginning woodworker and enjoy the hobby very much. I came here

with my hands and love the way wood feels in my hands when I am making
something with it. I love the way it smells when I am cutting it and

figure that should be "welcome" enough, works with everyone else. But,

Come now, they're not greedy, it's either one, or the other, not
both.

Besides, four is the optimum number, not six. One would pick on
you. Two would fight. Three, two would gang up on one. Four, they
share the work, and peace reigns.

Anyway, it's only a small temple, so just one slightly used virgin
will do them fine as a sacrifice.

Dude, chill out. You haven't offended anyone. We're *teasing* you. It has
long been the practice here on the Wreck (ie rec.woodworking) to tell
someone how much he sucks when he has a "gloat." The original poster in
this thread most assuredly has a gloat. By telling him how much he sucks,
we reaffirm how gloatable his gloat is, and make him feel all warm and
fuzzy and stuff. It's all part of the Wreck culture, and things have been
done this way for years. Getting told you suck is about the highest honor
we can offer.

You are *not* obligated to participate in this silliness. Many don't.
Loving wood and woodworking is a great thing. We all do. We also give
each other a hard time. Like the way Larry Jaques is always ranting about
the evils of staining walnut or using poly, and the way I'm always singling
him out and giving him a hard time about everything for no particular
reason. We're a bunch of smart alecks. JOAT is one of the smarteyest
alecks of all, although I don't guess we've ever had a contest to determine
who is actually the smarteyest aleck of all. Hell, it might be me. Or
Larry Jacques. It's probably Larry. Definitely. Definitely Larry. See,
there I go singling him out again, and somewhere in the Pacific northwest
the guy is scratching his head and wondering what he did to deserve another
assault on his character. (At least I finally learned how to spell his
name right.) Anyway...

You walked into the middle of that, and we were trying to show you the
ropes, so to speak, in a humorous fashion. You seem to have taken it
completely the wrong way. So chill out, calm down, and hang out a bit.
I've been online in one fashion or another for years (almost as long as
there was an online to hang out in, but not quite), and I've hung out in
too many different places to count. The Wreck is special. I think even if
I sold all my wood mangling equipment tomrorow and decided to take up cat
grooming for a hobby, I'd still hang out here just for all the discussion
among friends that only tangenitally relates to wood.

Nobody can make you stay, and you're free to go as you please. Just please
don't fly off in a snit because we poked you in the ribs. The key to this
whole thing is that you shouldn't take anything too seriously unless it's
safety. Republicans and Democrats, Christians and Pagans, young and old,
male and female, Sawstop advocates and Sawstop detractors, shellac users
and Minwhacks poly-izers, Normites and Royds, the one thing we all always
agree on is the importance of keeping all your body parts in working order,
and on trying to keep the red stuff inside where it belongs.

the guy is scratching his head and wondering what he did to deserve another
assault on his character.

Must be a guy thing (no offense to the male species btw)

You walked into the middle of that, and we were trying to show you the
ropes, so to speak, in a humorous fashion. You seem to have taken it
completely the wrong way.

Yes, yes I did.


So chill out, calm down, and hang out a bit.

I'll just take that chair in the corner. It looks comfy. :-)



I've been online in one fashion or another for years (almost as long as
there was an online to hang out in, but not quite), and I've hung out in
too many different places to count. The Wreck is special. I think even if
I sold all my wood mangling equipment tomrorow and decided to take up cat
grooming for a hobby, I'd still hang out here just for all the discussion
among friends that only tangenitally relates to wood.

The discussions look good. I've been reading them almost 24/7 since I
got here (except for the few hours yesterday when I was at the
Hamilton woodworking show)


Nobody can make you stay, and you're free to go as you please. Just please
don't fly off in a snit because we poked you in the ribs.

I'm still here. Just don't call me a *dude* again. Geeeze. I am
*all* female. ;-)


The key to this
whole thing is that you shouldn't take anything too seriously unless it's
safety.

Of course!! I agree with you there.


, the one thing we all always
agree on is the importance of keeping all your body parts in working order,
and on trying to keep the red stuff inside where it belongs.

Works for me and thanks for explaining things.

Now onto more woodtalk. :-)
