1. Your wife asks if she should put on a 36 grit belt so youll notice her.
2.your arms are stuck at your sides in a 22.5 degree angle
3. You see your neighbor leaving for work and he works the day shift.

... Any others?
 
You can't pass through an airport metal detector, due to all the steel dust covering your hair and body.
 
You can barely lift the shop vac to empty it because there is so much metal, grit, and scale in it.
 
you accept burnt finger tip's as ok if it get's a good grind.
You never stop thinking about knives , i could cut that with ----knife.
you go grocery shopping and eyeball "the competition"in the houseware section.


Or maybe im as crazy as you :) ;)
 
If you have a 2-inch pile of metal dust on your lap.

You have two matching black spots on the middle of each thumb -- and no thumbprint.
 
A police officer asks you why you doin't have any finger prints.

You can't do an MRI cause all the metal spinters would rip your skin off.
 
you can't tell which scar is which anymore, you have to many.

you can't remember where the stop switch on the grinder is.

you keep going from side to side on the grinding wheel
and your wife has to come and tell you the power has been out for four hours..

you start liking the grinding fumes from bone..
 
Well i can see you experienced knifemakers know what i mean. I just finished grinding my new 01 skinner.I should say i just came inside..well heres one more..

... youre finished grinding your blade but your body is locked into position in front of the grinder.
 
You've set your workbench on fire with the sparks streaming off the wheel ( I HAVE! :D )

All of your hats have a black thumbprint on the bottom of the bill.

Your shop floor is starting to rust.
 
You smell smoke and look down to see your shirt on fire from the grinding sparks.

Your arms have no hair from testing the sharpness of the ground blades.
 
I would be spending too much time at the grinder, if I had a KMG!!!,Grizzly, etc. :D
