To insult a woodworker.

[Jozf]

I was sharpening a new chisel yesterday daydreaming away in my workshop and thought to myself the cruelest thing anyone could say to me in that moment was:

" I hope your chisels forever remain blunt"

Which got me thinking what's the best insult you could throw at a woodworker...?

Nice table -( did you get it from ikea)

I knew a carpenter who would get very angry if I called him a chippy, needless to say he was angry a lot when I was around

But... but... carpenters are chippies? What did he want to be called, wood botherer?

He did a lot of cabinetry and fine furniture in his own time (and was very good) but considered himself way above his station when he was on site putting shuttering together

What’s that then?

 

[Sachakins]

" I see you've made some more fire wood", ouch....

 

[artie]

Call yourself a woodworker?

You couldn't join a conversation.

 

[Blister]

When will you make the real one ?

 

[alan895]

Was it meant to look like that?

 

[Ozi]

Nothings useless - even that makes a bad example!

Where did you do your apprenticeship 'Dewhurst' ?

The only papers he has is the Daily Mail...

May your workbench wobble.

"Will it be nice when it's finished?"

 

[CaptainBudget]

Your chisel sharpening process is wrong...

 

[Just4Fun]

One that I have actually heard used is:

That must have taken you hours.

The woodworker on the receiving end of that was not best pleased.

 

[Bob Chapman]

It'll be alright when it's painted!

You can buy that for a fiver in the charity shop.
