"Woodworking Women"

I saw that. Not much to it. Apparently they don't think women do anything but crafty type stuff. Wrong!

MCP's! AMAP's!

AMAP?

Yup, AMAPs. Its true.

Sorry - I didn't ask my question well. What is AMAP an acronym for (if that's what it is)?

for that matter, wtf does MCP stand for?

Yabbut, you're the one advertising the legs ;-)

Right you are. I do a LOT of stuff. I build furniture and other small items. I hate it when mags. do this kind of thing!

MCP = "Male Chauvinist Pig"

A label applied to males by females after the male has delivered a neener.

Male Chauvinist Pig

I'm guessing AMAP means All Men Are Pigs.

How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

I'm waiting for the pics in abpw! ;-)

Vicky & Leslie and other women woodworkers,

I frequently go to Mexico to build houses for the very poor and needy. Most of the trips I have women who want to help with the construction. I teach them how to use all of the main tools. Sometimes it takes some instance to get them to use the Skilsaws and nailguns but they eventually come around.

The problem begins with the other men. When a man sees one of the women taking their time cutting or nailing they come up and ay, "Here, let me help/show you." I then have to step in and tell the guy to buzz off and do something else, let her do it. After an hour or so of doing it by themselves, they become very proficent and thrilled with what they can do. Next, they want to know where to buy the tools! More women in the ranks of woodworkers!

I'm sorry, the original post was supportive of women. I wouldn't have commented except that you changed your sig. Dave in Fairfax

Always glad to meet and exceed specifications:

What would she know? She's just a /girl/.

My daughter-in-law is a licensed building contractor with her own wood shop. Most of the time she contracts out the work, but she has proven many times to be capable of doing it all herself. Everything from framing to cabinetry, and she still maintains a delicate feminine appearance when not working on the job site. I found it all quite hard to accept at first, but I've known her for about 14 years now and nothing she does surprises me anymore. My son has discovered that she frequently talks him into buying better tools than he was planning to "because they will do a better job and last longer". His only problem sometimes is finding his tools "because they're out on the job site". He's a very lucky guy. I wish his mother had more appreciation of woodworking and tool values.

WTF makes someone think they need their own magazine. Did I miss subscribing to Woodworking Men?

gee whiz Leslie! all's I did was make an observation about a mag and wished them luck and you come back with this. Sounds like some displaced anger issues. Get a shrink before you kill someone.

Don't recall which recent WWing magazine had about half of the main articles done by women - one on finishing, another on building a beautiful sideboard with inlayed vine and floral patterns (a collaborative effort - one did the "furniture" and the other the "enhancements"), another on routers.

If you've been to

Another recent WWing mag had almost all black males in the photos.

Eventually, we'll get to a place were the piece, and what it took to make it, will be what's noticed and not what the person who made it looks like , where that person came from or how old or young the person is. The more people woodworking and sharing what they've learned - the better.

Wonder what kinds of things they advertise? Could it be these:
