People love to classify things. Speak to a biologist and you’ll learn a boatload of Latin in when talking about an animal’s classification. Chemists classify the elements as metals, non-metals, noble gasses… the list continues.
Pastry chefs will classify ingredients as wet goods or dry goods, and it’s not as easy as it seems. Sugar is considered to be a wet ingredient.
When it comes to woodworkers, we also tend to classify ourselves into categories based on our abilities and knowledge of the craft.

In some respects I could be included in every catagory. Sometimes I can’t do anything wrong in the shop. Every operation works and pieces fit flawlessly. Other times I couldn’t make something work to save my life. Stupid mistakes, oversights, wrong measurements, you name it. A steller project can come out of my shop and the next looks totally messed up and end up in the scrap bin. Comes and goes. Life will kill you!!
