The problem with marrying a smart woman is that you can't talk her into doing your sanding for you.
@Reverend_Blair
I went on a Myers-Briggs course (other flavours of psychobabble are available) where one of the role plays involves adopting one of the various "personality types" and/or persuasion mechanisms and trying to talk your partner into doing the washing up when you both knew perfectly well that it was your turn, not theirs.
@Reverend_Blair I grew up doing my dad's - I learned my lesson at a very young age. Sounds like your wife knows whats up - but thats beautiful work - what are you working on?
@starweaver used to be a wash stand, back in the World War One era. It was really rough. Going to be a liquor cabinet/stash box.
@Reverend_Blair Nice Shaker door. Woodworking is peace.
