51. If you drop a tool on the floor, it will invariably roll under your bench where you can't reach it. 52. The quality, low-priced lumber is never near where you live. 53. Any project you have to do will require another project to be done before it. 54. A clean shop is the sign of someone that just says he is a woodworker. 55. The worst fitting joint will always be the most visable, and likewise, the best fitting joint is always hidden from view. 56. All finished blemishes will be right where peope will want to touch and admire it. 57. The hand fastener you have at hand, is always too long or too short and you must go find the right size. 58. Always cut the long piece first. This way when you cut it too short, you can use it for the shorter pieces. 59. Short pieces needing to be cut, will never have long enough stock to cut them out of. 60. When clamping work together, you will always need one more hand than is available to hold the piece together (even using a nail gun). 61. Don't put fleshy parts of your body behind anything you are drilling or you might find it with the drill bit. 62. All lost tools are found after finding a way to get around not using them. They get jealous if not enough attention is paid to them. Much like a dog will come back if you stop running after him. 63. Never say, "Oh ya, I can do that in an hour." when you need to be somewhere else in four hours. 64. Never commit to anything you don't want to be nagged about later. 65. You never have enough time to do a project the first time, but always enough time to do it over. 66. A freshly sharpened chisel will always fall sharpened side down. 67. Old Bailey planes will fall in such a way to snap off a cheek or to break at the mouth. 68. Tools & wood will expand to consume all available shop space. 69. When digging for something in the tool box, you'll find the sharp end first. 70. When lights and other tools have a dependancy sensor, like a breaker, if it senses too much dependancy, it ceases operation. Sometimes spectaculary. 71. All of the Phillips screwdrivers of a useful size are in SWMBO's kitchen utility drawer. 72. If you spill glue on your forearm, it should be cleaned up right away. If you delay, you'll get an appreciation for what women go through when they wax their legs. 73. If you run out of stain in the mddle of a project, the next can, even though it is the same brand and kind, will be different. 74. Clamps are used to hold boards in place. Without them, the boards are found all over the shop. 75. When you know you have a particular tool, and can't find it, you'll buy another one. When you know you have several tools of the same kind, you'll keep looking for one of them. 76. When you set up your shop, the tools will have enough breakers so you can turn all of them on at once, then you run them one at a time. 77. Those special boards you have been saving, can be found in the son's woodworking project he did at school. 78. There is a direct correlation between the price of the wood and the mis-cuts. 79. Measure twice, cut once, will only result in two different measurements. 80. A surefire way to guarantee screwing up your project is to say, "Just this last cut and then I'm done." 81. The amount of time spent upon finishing a project is directly proportional to the ear ache received about it not "ready yet", but is inversely proportional to the quality of the finish. 82. Spill-proof paint cans, aren't. 83. Paint / Varnish / Glue can be removed easier and faster from your project than the patch of floor you dripped it on. 84. A three-year-old can immitate you painting with better results. 85. A tool you have been wanting to use for a long time will not be able to be found, and you'll wind buying another one. 86. Small particles of dust float in the air all of the time. If you buy a Dust Collector, you become more aware of them and think your Dust Collector isn't doing the job. 87. All projects come with mistakes. You should make those first before working on the project. 88. Starting a project is easier to do than finishing one. 89. The plans for a project and the finished project itself, never seem to be the same. 90. A skilled woodworker will always have difficulity doing something. 91. An air cleaner has no way of knowing how often it cleans the same air over and over and over.... 92. The SWMBO usually has better plans. 93. Someone else will find your mistakes quicker and easier than you can. 94. Once you have saved enough money to buy that special tool you've been wanting, it will either be out-of-stock or discontinued. 95. If you have enough money to buy all the tools you want, there will still be something you need the next time you use them. 96. If you are limited in the amount of money you can spend on your tools, something is going to suffer. Usually it will be the car. 97. All power tools are built with smoke sealed in them. If you let the smoke out, the tool will no longer function. 98. Everything in the shop is considered to be a Dust Collector until you buy one. 99. Making saw dust is one thing. Making saw dust perfect requires skill. 100. The best way to protect your lungs from getting saw dust in them is to use a respirator as a filter over your nose.
