Beer and Woodworking

[picciuto@yahoo.com]

How many beers do you limit yourself while in the shop?

[mds2]

No more than a dozen. I like to play it safe.

[Frank Speyerer]

It's guys like you that made my job in the E.R. interesting at night.

[jhl.verona]

No more than a dozen. I like to play it safe.

Root beer, obviously. I mean nobody drinks real beer in the workshop, right?

D'oh!

(thanks, John!)

Power tools? No beers, no exceptions. I'll knock back as many as I want if I'm just sitting at the bench tinkering with hand tools, though my results get exponentially worse as the night progresses. Typically I don't drink at all if I'm working on a project that has any importance, but a six pack, a radio, and a simple hand tool project can be quite an enjoyable night...and a miserable morning after. You know you're getting old when a six pack hangs you over.

[TimV]

Zero. I've had a couple of severe but fully healed injuries in the shop and they had nothing to do with drinking. I don't want any excuses. I don't want to be that guy that everyone says he was drinking and doing what?

I'm with eric1978; handsanding, brainstorming, designing and a cool 6'er with some tunes = All for it as long as it's a personal project Having to work with power tools or anything sharp = zero.. That's what the end of the day is for!

[Jfitz]

None while working with anything powered or sharp. Might have a few if cleaning up, puttting stuff away, vacuuming.

[Mister Pants]

When working with anything powered zero, nada zip. If I'm cleaning, designing, sitting and looking sure.

[dcustoms]

I had to remove my mini bar from the shop...things got scary

Beer-thirty usually starts around 4:30 here. After the power tools get quiet and I can concentrate on the meaning of life better.

I have that quote on one of my pint glasses!!

[Boatworks Today]

Truth be told, I never have any beer at the shop; but there's plenty at home!! Limit? --> not sure I know what you mean -Ha Ha

I spend too much time at work as it is, no need to stay any longer than I have to. A bon-fire pit, my girls, a stocked cooler and some ribeye's on a Fall October evening... Priceless!

[PeteJr]

You can have as many in the shop as you like, as long as they remain unopened.

[jpdorn]

sniff.. sniff..

yep. troll..

[ChetlovesMer]

I'm more of a coffee in the workshop kind of guy.

[Deaser]

Beer? I can't drink anything with this dang respirator on my face!

[Bobby Slack]

Absolutely not. Only Malbec ... and that is if I am sanding. The moment I have a drop of alcohol all my cutting power tools are off my hands ... and unplugged.

[Derwood]

Beer? Screw that. That 7 bucks is such a waste of money. What is it with beer that's so special. Take my seven and I'd rather a strip steak, certified angus, medium rare. -and change in my pocket.

[rodger.]

0 - beer and tools don't mix.

[jHop]

You know, I've been craving a beer for a while now. I'm starting to get thirsty. It's probably been about three months since I've had one... maybe I'll treat myself tonight.... the last of the previous six pack should still be in the fridge from when I bought it last year....

(And no, I'm not joking.)

[Vic]

I like really tasty micro brews. I live for our trips to Germany and really awesome beers!! But as far as beer in the shop. No. Not if I'm actually working.
