The Friendliest Woodworking Site on the Internet ... YOU SUCK!

[WoodWrangler]

I find it funny that North Carolina Woodworker is "The Friendliest Woodworking Site on the Internet" but our favorite thing to tell one another is "YOU SUCK! "

I can only imagine what on-lookers are thinking ... they must be confused! Then again, it shouldn't take long to figure it out ...

Jeremy,

With that last laundry list of tools you acquired, you deserve the big

You SUCK!

[Jon]

I wonder if they really notice or are they just jealous that they cant join.

Dave - Select is actually a grade below F1F and a grade above #1 common with a minimum board size of 4" wide by 6' long / 24 cutting units.

Both FAS and F1F are a minimum board size of 6" wide by 8' long / 48 cutting units.

I think we may have confused F1F and Select Grades. Grades from best to worst are:
FAS
F1F
Select
#1 Common
#2 A
#2 B
#3 A
#3 B

Pretty cool ... never knew it was there. You guys think of everything.

I must confess that I was the creator of this Suck-U-lent definition in the Lexicon. I just thought it appropriate to add one, because I suspected some folks would not understand our frequent use of this term!
