What Tim said.
Folks 'round here don't mind some self-promotion by those who are
active participants in the community. It's them what breeze in, drop an
ad, and breeze out again that are scorned.

------------------------------------------------------
One site: <http://www.balderstone.ca>
The other site, with ww links<http://www.woodenwabbits.com>
We've just taken some time at this cafepress thing to make some of the
popular sayings in woodworking available on things that can be worn or
used in order to promote woodworking in a unique way.
I figure everyone here knows of the tool and supply retailers. This is
not intended to promote those links.
If anyone has suggestions on which items are the best they will be
appreciated. We'd like to make a storefront of the best ones according
to woodworkers themselves. And if there's is anything you would like to
see please do suggest it.
This is just for fun folks. Just hoping you might get a chuckle. And to
show how cool my shop-dog is:-)
If you click on the phrase/designs it will take you to the items that
are available with it on them.

Didn't want to offend anyone. That's why I asked.

You mean popular sayings like, "Awww SHIT!" "OUCH!" "How the hell did
THAT happen?" "DAMMIT!" "Now where's that $*<=A3@# pencil?"

You guys are no less than Fantastic. I was hoping the posting would be
taken in the best regard. And it seems it has.
We've taken the affiliate merchant links down for now so nobody is
concerned.
I do wonder about that "Hold My wood...." comment. It might be seen as
a bit lame. Although some women woodworkers might find it amusing.
All your suggestions are great. We'll try to use some of those and
probably put some items with a little more warning of their possibly
offensive nature.
Thank You fellow "wreckers". This was very helpful. I'll be staying
active here.

LOL, I'm new to woodworking, well, not really, let's say I'm getting
reaquainted after an absence of many years, and these are cracking me
up. I think I will be getting a couple of the "Hold My Wood, Baby"
boxers for my boyfriend, and if some of these other suggestions make it
to designs, I'll be looking at getting a few of those as well.
Nice idea!

Looks like the kind of crap you get for fathers day, then feel obliged to
wear at least once, then never again. Sorry, I'm just not into looking
cute.
I'm sure you will sell some - to some poor bastards.

Strictly speaking, no...a once only probably wouldn't get <too> much
flack, but be prepared there <will> be flamers if you do... :)
I think those w/ real ww tools/services get looked upon as a service it
it's infrequent and not too blatant. Other ancillary stuff is more
prone the farther it is from actual working wood...

It's true that there aren't any LAWS about what can and can't be done,
but there are conventions. The wRECk runs on the same conventions that
Badger Pond used to. ACTIVE posters can run an ad once a month or so.
Fly-by posters of ads aren't welcome to do the same. Ads that lead back
to places like Rocklers generally aren't accepted because MS Rockler
doesn't show up here, the company just specializes in links from a lot
of site, like Amazon does. Lee Valley IS accepted because Robin posts
here very regularly and doesn't fill the web with redirects.
Hope that helpls,
Dave in Fairfax

But Lee Valley does not advertise here. Robin participates and is welcome,

the pond was formed because there was no oversight of the wreck. it
was moderated, which the wreck is not. if you object to off topic
posts, trolls, porn or whatnot being posted on the wreck, your options
are to flame the poster of said crap (might make -you- feel better,
but that's all), filter the thread or go away. that's life on usenet.

this is the wreck. it's also usenet. so nobody has authority to tell
you that you can't. you have to decide for yourself.
if you do, you'll be accused of spamming. thing is, the wreck runs a
big 'ol double standard about spamming... as long as your stuff is
truly cool and you don't act like an ass you'll probably be welcomed

Two signs I have are "Sacrificial Maidens Wanted. Apply Within." and
"Loose Women Tightened Here". Oh, woodworking signs. I have "Measure
