When you realize that your wife is very patient

I was picking up around the house very pleased with how neat and tidy I was. Then I started noticing a trend with some of our flat surfaces. I probably should go buy flowers now.
 
My wife got me a big fancy ceramic bowl and it always has a few dozen knives in it. Her last birthday i made her a bunch of stuff that she had been wanting, and i had to throw a knife in there too. She is kind of starting to resent the knifemaking though so i need to get better about doing the noisy stuff when she is out of the house.

I flashed her in the garage yesterday, with the welder, and she is not liking me right now.
 
Had to laugh at your pic, looked like mine until I stopped bringing them in about six months ago when I noticed knives going missing and found her stash.
 
My wife, Judy, is the most patient and understanding person. She has gotten used to sword blades and swords leaning against the walls in the living room, steel bars leaning against the wall by the back door, me hand sanding while we watch TV ( and my occasional, "sh#! and I cut myself while looking at the TV and polishing a tanto at the same time) and the kitchen table with bins of knife projects sitting on it. What really impresses me is I will be explaining something about HT and when I say a word like "martensite", she says, "Yeah, I know what that is."
 
I live at home during the summer when I am not at school, and my parents have learned to live with the wood everywhere. My mom has taken to using 800 dollar slabs of Ambonya burl, rosewood burl or ipe burl as serving platters, and i guess she likes the aesthetic because sometimes slabs go missing and appear in random decorative places

But its a nice trade off! They also know have hand carved cocobolo handles for all the drawers in the house.
 
I had a girlfriend (once upon a time) who put a long leaf maple slab in the bed. Didn't need to say a another word :confused: :D

It was a very nice example. ;) Yup, I'm a woodworker and love my materials :rolleyes:

I’m constantly getting the. Hey hun can you get this big sheet of steel out of the oven. Lol
 
I don't complain about her shoes and purses and bucket list items with her daughters.
A good deal for both of us...seems to work quite well.
 
Why don't you be real men and tell your wife "how it's going to be" just like I wish I could? Larry
 
Every once in a while my wonderful wife tells me I can't bring home any more wood to dry. I usually rearrange the drying stacks and then salt more pieces in there. She's got my number now because she recognizes species and grains and notices when new curly maple or burl goes onto a drying pile. She knows about moisture content too. "That wasn't anywhere in the yard, house, garage or shed a week ago. You brought more home!" One day when I tried to protest I had that piece for close to a year she wanted to test the moisture content to prove it was fresh cut. She has my number.

Lol. Mine is tickled pink. Knives take up way less room than guns.

Many years ago I read an article by the late, great humorist Patrick McManus titled " GUN RUNNING PAST YOUR WIFE". It was both hilarious and effective. Thanks for triggering that memory!
 
Oh BTW if you really want to get pissed find out what she spends on makeup. That shit is super expensive
