    Default Confession – I am a darksider

    As mush as I hate to admit it there is a darkside in me. I love using hand tools. I think it is traditional, it is more craftsmen like and most importantly it gives me satisfaction.

    So WB your prayer has been answered.

    I am feeling vulnerable right now. What should I tell you next? Maybe I like cats too.

    Hang on I do like cats if you know what I mean.

    Good night

    From that pic, it almost looks like you 'came out of the closet'.

    Lets see what the peanut gallery think of that shall we?

    Scott mate,

    You are just a woodworker, albiet a more than competent one.

    Darkside, lightside, who cares?

    Is the journey more important than the destination?

    Only you (and each one of us) can answer that.

    You didn't have me fooled. I've had you marked down as one of them for ages. Now you've come out, there's no turning back. Suffer.

    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Don't worry about it Wongo, some just take a little longer to see the light of the dark side. Doesn't everything in the world feel better now?
    Those silly light siders will wake up one day, their electron burning habits will reap their vengance, and they will repent.

    Welcome home Wongo.

    Scott,

    I think the darksider was always in you. It has come to the fore and you are now enjoying the pleasures.

    Like Craig suggested, everyone to their own and some people gain as much pleasure using power tools as darksiders gain pleasure using hand tools. A similar journey but in a different vehicle.

    I enjoy being in the company of all satisfied woodworkers whether or not they be darksiders. Of course a bit of fun can be had laying it on those who do not share the same pleasures as myself but it is only ever fun.
