Woodworking, Dogs, Guitars

[DWalk]

It seems to me that many woodworkers are also dog owners (lovers) and guitar players. These three things seem to go together. I fall into this category myself. Anyone else here fit this category?

All except the guitar. For me it's woodwinds (sax, flute, and clarinet). I've also noticed that quite a few folks are from the technical fields, in my case electronics.

Yup for sure, have played the acoustic 6 string all my life, love dogs but lost the last ones in a divorce and haven't had the guts to replace them yet.

I've noticed the same. Lots of electrical and IT people.

2 lathes, 2 table saws, 2 dogs, and 2 guitars. Funny that I never noticed the pattern before.

I have two dogs, because my wife wanted them... it's my job to take care of them, feed and clean up after.... for some reason unknown to me the little one has attached himself to me.... can't say it's love, more tolerance.... I'm tone deaf, unmusical, can't carry a tune in a bucket, not even good at playing a radio.... but I AM a wood turner.

Woodworking and dogs yes, guitar no. My dogs are my technical advisors in the shop. They advise me when I'm out of doggie treats and when I need to go to the bathroom.

4 dogs and 4 guitars for me. I'm not sure I actually classify as a woodworker or guitarist, but I make sawdust and noise. And the dogs, I'm pretty sure they own me...

You nailed it.

Started as a luthier before pens. First started building guitars due to my "gas" (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome).

Two lathes, one dog, two cats, no guitar. I can pick out tunes by ear on a piano, but that's about it.

I'm a semi-retired industrial electrician. I get called in to check blueprints before someone applies for a building permit from time to time.
It adds a few coins to the collection plate.

I've also had dogs for 50 years. Never more than 6 months between them.
Always 2 or 3 at a time, depending on their size. I've had some pretty cool cats too, but I prefer dogs.

I love doing wood working, but my body doesn't always follow my mind's desires. :frown:

3 dog 5 cats, 3 are more feral than domestic. Also can play the piano and do play a wicked Soprano and Tenor Sax. Can play Clarinet also.

Well now. I like dogs and I listen to guitars and I am a turner aspiring to become a craftsman. But that is as close as I can get.

No dogs, three cats, no musical ability but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last week.

One guitar (12 string), 2 dogs, decent shop. Anesthetist. Music in the shop all the time. Oh, and a wife.
