Short Cuts
I get very confused when reading some peoples posts as they seem to cut words down into ( i dont know what they are called!!!!:confused: )
eg Bandsaw is now BS
tablesaw is TS etc etc.
I figured out what most of these things are.
One that I would like to know is what SWMBO stands for. I figured out it means your wife.
Please less of these short cuts.
PS I failed english in high school.
Did well at wood and metal work though!!

Hi Legin,
I can sympathise with you, all that LOL and BTW etc stumped me for a while too. I thought there might be some list of acronyms on this forum but only come up with this thread: http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...light=acronyms
There is a link to somewhere else, but straying off this safe house is asking too much now*. You can find out all you need to know, and lots you don't.
Cheers,

I remember my teacher telling me not to act the goat.....Gee, all that practise really paid off.Whale oil beef hooked!
