woodworking - a transferable skill

[mickthetree]

I find that when grating a particularly crumbly cheddar cheese, much like planing end grain, it helps to bevel the opposite edge to prevent cheese blow out.

Any other wood working skills that pass over to other areas of life?

I've first to develop some skills, but yours is a beaut.

I think slicing carrots gives an insight into the stresses released from wood when resawn. You slice a carrot lengthways and depending on the thickness and the position of the slice in the carrot (or trunk) depends on how it curves after the cut is done and stresses released.

I think you've probably got hold of some kilned dried cheese there, if you were to try some slow air dried stuff it would cut sweetly with a knife. You'd then have to decide on the optimum bevel(s) on the knife to achieve a 1 thou slither... :lol: - Rob

Cutting dovetails is good practice for cutting unsliced bread, and vice versa

Cheers :wink:

[mickthetree]

or practice cutting dovetails on stale bread, to save wasting expensive wood.

maybe we should have a competition to see who canmake the best dovetails box from stale bread.

hmmmmmmmm

The grater is just one coarse piece of sandpaper - except you don't need a shop vac to remove the cheese dust!! :?

I have been having it for long enough now that I have moved from being asked if I want "the usual", to them just starting to make it when I get to the front of the queue

Bit stuffed the day you change your mind and get to the counter only to be handed the usual. :wink:

Not woodworking related, but many (and I mean many) years ago my girlfriend's father was a master plasterer - he was always handed the spatula when it was time to ice the cake for Christmas and birthdays :lol:

I have been having Weetabix for breakfast every day for the past 30 years. I had Tuna sandwiches every day for the whole of my school career.

If I like something I see no reason to change it

Wow - and I thought I was set in my ways!

I used to eat two slices of peanut butter on toast for breakfast almost everyday (at least 15 years). Sadly that had to stop as middle age spread started

I love strange food combinations though, I discovered that peanut butter and grapes go fairly well together the other day. In fact I find that mixing any combination of foods I enjoy together usually results in something that rates as at least pretty good.

F - this is not the way forward IMO...Shredded Wheats x 2 topped off with a dollop of All Bran with a 'nana chopped up on the top does the business, plus a pint mug of T and wholemeal toast to follow. Sorted... (at least 'till lunchtime) - Rob

toast sliced with a fine set japanese cross cut saw I hope Rob. ;-)
