You know you are a woodworker when............

You are cutting a tiger loaf in the kitchen and concentrating on your stance.

You are cutting a tiger loaf in the kitchen and concentrating on your stance. Mick

And....using a handsaw to do the cutting

Which one Mick? Tenon, crosscut or rip?

 

[Jonzjob]

You mean that you don't have a 2 wheel bandsaw with a 1/4" 6 skip blade to do that :shock:

 

[Benchwayze]

.... you start looking for furniture ideas in TV drama props!

:roll:

 

[MickCheese]

You are walking through a wood or forest and visualise cut boards in every tree.

So true, I always practice my hand-sawing on the loaf. And why is it all the non-woodworkers cut the loaf so it undercuts in to the stock?? Rubbish technique.

(do I mean 'undercuts'? - take far more off as they progress down the cut, that's what I mean.)

... or you look at mother-in-laws legs and think - I wouldn't have carved them like that. The old Bingo call: "legs - 88'

One of the useful transferrable skills that woodwork imparts is the ability to cut slices of bread with unerring accuracy.

My wife (who never cuts bread straight) has banned handsaws from the kitchen though.

Anyone know if Disston, Tyzack, et al . ever made bread knives?

 

[Harbo]

Bandsaw would be the ideal tool

I have used a 'bread-saw' in the past, to cut dovetails! :mrgreen:

[promhandicam]

. . . you spend more time in the workshop than on UKW?

So am I a rubbish woodworker because I cannot vut bread straight ot can I not cut bread straight because I am a rubbish woodworker ?

...then SWIMBO has instantly turned into a genius woodworker! She used to cut home brewed bread with a conventional serrated bread knife and could only produce thick, skewed doorsteps. I let her try with one of my new Jap knives and she can now cut perfectly even, thin slices. She looked at me t'other day after having performed this truly miraculous feat and muttered....'Wow, sharp aren't they' - Rob
