As I was sitting upon the throne this morning (the white one with the water
in it ) a stray thought passed into my head. Since it was lonley there in my
head I have decided to pass it along to the group so I cound get back to my
usual empty headed state. It seem this group could use some help in
achieving togetherness and I know just the thing. We should all have
matching T-shirts, the front would have a picture of a wood vise with the
logo "VISE SQUAD " the back could have "REC. WOODWORKING". Any thoughts, any
takers, we could probably get 'em cheap if we order enough copies. Larry

I buy bundles of rags for 20.00. The shirts I wear when dealing with a
client are clean, embroidered with my shopmark, and cost plenty more than
19.95. My clients know from my appearance that I don't compromise on
anything - even before I open my mouth to say hello. T-shirt? Yea, right.
It's tough to be taken seriously by someone while wearing a dud T-shirt with
a faded slogan.

It's quite affordable and housable on CD-ROM, although the interface
leaves a bit to be desired. Also available online, but I haven't tried
that.

And on the Internet it is somehow tough to be understood as making a joke
when one refuses to use smileys. Without some explicit wink, kidding is
assumed as criticism. Yet, I persevere, ever striving to use well the
English language. That aside, I agree.

If t-shirts don't blow yer hair back, maybe an ole bumper sticker might. I
had a stack of bumper sticker stock left over from a printing course and
printed up a sticker using my laser printer.

Very wise....
There is a great book on writing the first edition of the OED - The Surgeon
of Crowthorne - apparently a fellow that wrote a lot of the entries was an
American murderer, in an institution in England - he went mad after serving
as a doctor during the US civil war. The full version of the OED not only
has definitions and derivation but it records the first time the word was
ever printed in English, this fellow (the American murderer) spent his time
going through mountains of books looking for the first instance of many
thousands of words.

According to the Shorter Oxford Dictionary (The most authoratative
dictionary of the English language, second only to the full version which is
so large and expensive few individuals can either afford or house it ) since
1500 the word "vice" has been used to describe "A tool comprised of two jaws
opening and closing by means of a screw, which firmly grip a piece of work
and hold in position while it is being operated upon; used esp[ecially] by
workers in metal and carpenters.
The word "vise" is given as a US variant.

Wait, wait, wait. Larry in Cincinnati? Talking about vise? Is this Larry
Flynt? I though you were running for Gov. of Californication? Is this
T-shirt gig a fundraiser?
PS: I think the idea is clever. Yet, bottom line: Would I buy one?
Probably not. That's just my personal style. But, if you were looking for
pre-orders, just wanted to note this. BTW, if you have any time to
actually do this, you might be able to get one or more sponsors that could
bring the price down a buck or two.
Well, ok, I suppose that's possible, but here's what I get when I look in my
Webster's New World (I'm sure you'll get a kick out of that hehe)
Dictionary:
(1st definitions only)
Vise: a device, usually fastened to a workbench, consisting of two jaws
opened and closed by a screw, lever, etc. and used for holding firmly an
object being worked on.
Vice: an evil or wicked action, habit, or characteristic, depravity or
corruption, esp. prostitution.
So, you tell me which one applies more hehehe

Futile, dude. The shirt is a cool idea, Larry, but let's rethink the slogan.
Getting this group to agree about ANYTHING, much less something they have to
pay for, is peeing into the wind. That's what makes it fun to be here. 8>)
The shirt should have "rec.woodworking" on the front, nothing more.
And I notice that our T-shirt expert, one C-less, is not responding. Maybe
his brain melted at the thought of coming up with a single saleable slogan.
Bob
Since it's apparent that NONE of us will ever agree on a logo, the saying,
or even worse the *spelling* of a tee shirt - let's put something on it that
will make people ask questions about our craft . . . something so profound
that even folks on Arbor Day will go "WOW - I never heard of that before."
How about this:
"Jummywood - it's on the Wreck!"
LOL!
Okay - I now see that we can agree on not agreeing!

Uh, which side of the planet is that? Vise is spelled vise no matter where
you live.
If you spelled it "vice" you'd have a pretty bad problem that might need
intervention, depending on the nature of your addiction.
Things like miter and mitre and meter and metre are variations of spelling,
but vise and vice are completely different words.

I have a bit of respect for people I encounter, and don't plaster slogans,
logos or advertising on my clothing (except my own shopmark, tastefully
embroidered of the breast pocket)... I don't wear (where, ware, weir) T
shirts with writing. Neither do my kids. I leave that bit of societal
bonding, territorial marking, to the kids, and or course, "Old Navy".
Sorry. <ducking for cover>

Larry,
This idea's been around rec.crafts.woodturning for a couple of years. The
following sites feature t-shirts designed and marketed by two ladies (Ruth
and Molly) who frequent the group. Although the group name does not appear
on the shirts, they've been informally adopted by the group, and are worn
for recognition to turning symposiums and other gatherings. The ladies have
also managed to have the shirts featured in one or two catalogs of prominent
woodturning suppliers.

Larry,
I think you should take a crack at it, he said ordering a volunteer
about. Also think about the guy sitting in a pile of cutoffs, sawdust,
chips, etc. holding a really nice table or cradle or... Make the guy
look goofy (Maybe Jums will send you a photo).
mahalo,
