Shop Talk

Hey guys, my jig is not a jig atall. It's just a simple little box that sits on the bench and contains a few pencils and a sharpener. "just stick the damn pencil behind your ear, you moron"  I hear a lot of you shout. Yes fine, okay, I agree with you 100%, but it's okay for you guys with perfect  film star ears that sit tight against your heads. What about those of us who have less than perfect  Brad Pitt profiles. I personally can fit  a medium sized table leg behind both of my ears ( they stick out a lot, but hey, they at least stick out evenly) "Put the pencil in your shirt pocket then, you dipstick". What?, and chance breaking the pencil point off in my man boob.  No guys, sorry but my pencil box is staying. I no longer knock my pencils off the bench onto the floor and break the point off, I no longer have to search all my pockets for a fugitive pencil. I can even remove the blue tack from behind my ears. I just take a pencil out of the box, mark my rail or style  and put it back in the box. Simple, no fuss. The box cost nothing, a few bits of 1/2" mdf, glue and brads, and it took less than half an hour to make. Anyway guys I gotta go, or I'll be late for my Quasimodo  look alike meeting. Cheers me dears.......
