Evil scientists plot uncovered- uses hand tools to lure victims

[silentC]

I gave my bench a name, is that normal?

It's called Frankenstein, although I am considering Zed's proposed alternative, Frankenbench, as a pet name.

Looks like I have some catching up to do Silent. Are there books with suggestions for names of tools?

WB,

Here you go: http://www.barrowdowns.com/middleearthname.php

I've used this to name my Carbatec TSC 10HB "Ruzurk the Slaughterer", which is it's Orkish name.

My Stanley #4 smoother is "Bôrrat the Testy" in Orkish, or "Otho Bracegirdle from Brandy Hall" in Hobbit.

My Bandsaw: Merin Cleverrage
My Router: Grotwakh the Tearer

It's uncanny....

After SWMBO saw what I did to the old shed she calls me "Whelan the Wrecker"

Cheers

Thanks Silent.

According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, Lie Nielsen number Five was a Sad Dwarf

According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, Lie Nielsen Block Plane was a Springle-Ring-Dancing Gardner

According to the Red Book of Westmarch, In Middle-earth, Lie Nieslen Low Angle Smoother was a Friendly Balrog

I will go home now and greet my little lovelies. I am not so sure about the name of the block plane though and the number five although not as big as the number 7 is hardly sad or small, perhaps it is sarcasm.

Jeez and you blokes accuse Captain Crabtree of being strange!

[silentC]

Captain Crabtree

Err, that would be 'Grúbburz the Meek', Col...or should I call you 'Ugdug the Wicked'.

A bit Jekyll and Hyde that: Driver is 'the Wicked' and Crabtree is 'the Meek'. Funny that your alter-ego is the meek one - exactly who takes the formula, you or Crabtree?

In my shed i have something SWMBO has named ANNA (conda).
Those of you who have seen a dust extractor hooked up to 5 machines in a small shed will know what she is talking about.
Kind regards
Termite

I can only dream of that. I've got two lengths of flexible hose and a 12' length of 4" flue from the old heating oil water heater. One machine at a time for me

In the old shed the... ummm power distribution arrangement (alias about 6 powerboards and bunch of extension leads in a tangled mess) was known by er indoors as Spagetti Junction. I used to call it something else but the big guy with the scarey avatar prevents me from relating further

The old planer was known as "the monster" or more frquently as "Roaring Billy". The DC is called by my 4 yo daughter as "The Willy Willy" which may be pretty funny to some who don't know what a "Willy Willy" is. (see below signature).
The conversation goes like this;
4 yo "Daddy what are you doing"
Dad "I'm going to cut this piece of wood"
4 yo "but aren't you going to start up the willy willy first?"
Dad "uh umm ...yes yes, of course dear I was just seeing if you would remember it should have been running before I started"

I don't retain my workbenches long enough to develop a close personal relationship with them. Their main task in my hands is to be the workbench for the new workbench I am building . Then they get given away or sold. I kind of like the name Igor for a workbench, or perhaps Bill; aka william??

Cheers

Not yet so far down the abyss to have named the boys...AHEM sorry the handplanes individually, however a few months ago I called the belt sander a few choice names such as F#@@@#&** piece of $%^!, as I was extracting it from my shirt :eek: .

[bitingmidge]

I'm thinking my workbench must be the "invisible man".
