I hate it when...

[Joseph Bandeko]

OK that’s really funny!
I’m assuming you mean static electricity coming off the platen right?
I guess I forgot that was even a thing because I live in Florida...

 

[polish avenger]

I hate it when that little, tiny thing I'm grinding slips out of my stupid, fat fingers only to get squarely deposited into the hungry maw of my dust collector.

Drink time.

Been meaning to make screens for quite some time...maybe I'll find my motivation this winter!

 

[Fred.Rowe]

I hate when I forget to drill a weep hole in my canister damascus project.

 

[AVigil]

I hate it when I go to get something that has been in the same place forever, and then it is not there and vanished.

 

[running bird]

I hate it when my grinder electrocutes me

I haven’t really had this problem until recently. Started practicing grinding more… now my grinder punishes me for it

It hurts us

 

[mattd]

I hate it when there is an abrasive piece of dust in a bran new shop rag and when old guys tell me I should be using files or damascus to make make a good knife.

 

[Lorien]

I hate it when I tell people I make knives and they're like "Wow! You heat it up and beat on it with a hammer?". I'm like, "no, I just cut it out from a piece of steel"

 

[Natlek]

I hate lot of things but this is the freshest one I hate when I get phone call in middle of work !! I was drilling blind holes in wood scale and I was almost done when i get that call .I put scale aside WITH holes on bottom side , I finish conversation take scale and I drill twenty 6mm holes on wrong side !! luckily scale was enough thick and holes shallow..................

 

[FredyCro]

I hate it when I am procrastinating and not using the free time for the shop.

I also hate cleaning up the shop.

I hate looking for tools or parts.

I hate my bandsaw not tracking right every time I change the saw.

I hate handsanding wear resistant steels.

I don't mind the mistakes while actually working on the knives.

 

[eric brinkerhoff]

I hate it when I get home from work early and I head into the shop with a well choreographed plan , a simple strategy that I have been working out in my mind all day, and I am on a roll,and I have pared all the fat away so I know it will only take a few minutes,and I am hustling along, engrossed in my work, and everything is falling into place like butter,and this could be my signature masterpiece accomplishment of all time, and I don't even hear the shop door open,but I do feel a sudden icy breeze,and I am caught red handed indulging in my selfish pursuit of my one true dream, and I hear the words " What are you doing out here?" That's what I hate!

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

I hate when stitching up a sheath…almost done, and one of the stitches pops through a soft spot!
Chaps my…

 

[Blankblank]

...I forget to remove my chuck key before I turn on my drill press, which then chucks my chuck key into my swarf bucket

How 'bout you? Any forehead slapping going on in your shop?

So is this why all the chuck keys i have have that little spring in the middle that annoys me? To stop me from accidentally leaving it in the chuck?

 

[Skiller1nc]

I hate when the belt grabs my knife while I'm grinding and I slam my thumb into a fresh 36 grit belt running at mach 10.

 

[AVigil]

I hate it when I see people using big C-clamps when gluing up scales on blades

You want to make sure all that nasty epoxy gets squeezed out.

 

[Crag the Brewer]

EVERYONE says this too!
It must be a running joke with (on) us..... haha. :/
