My wife just banned knapping in the car. However I am told I can nap. I want to take poll- how many of you think that pressure flaking is an exceptable past time activity for a long drive as a passenger in my wife's car?

I don't see what her big problem is, the flakes vacuum up . At least that's what I told my wife when she woke up late one night & caught me knapping on the living room carpet. She got so angry. Now she calls knapping THE OTHER WOMAN. If you got my back in the living room I got your back in the car.

I don’t see a problem with knapping in the car or the living room. I have done it a few times, just got to clean up the evidence.

I guess Ill play devils advocate. If you are knapping on a seat that she might have to sit on I can see why she doesn't allow it. My wife lets me knap in the living room. I put down a little tarp and vacuum when Im done and she is satisfied.

I used to pressure rlake in the office, but got busted from all the dust, chips in my trashcan, and blood spots here & there. I still knap at horse shows, but not in the vehicle. It is a consuming hobby though. Keep after it.

See, this is what you don't understand. Names and deeds aside, the "house" isn't your house . . . it's her "nest". Nests are for cozy comfy snuggly things and activities . . . and egg laying (or the mamalian equilavent). See our bird like mating ritual involves getting that deed to the space that will become the nest, then we are to only engage in activities that beautify said nest. Of course the argument will be dressed up. "Do you really want to live in S#%*T"? or my favorite "you can live like a hillbilly . . . somewhere else".
And honestly that is fair enough. I mean you never know when a suprise guest like the Prince of Whales and company is going to show up and there is this hillbilly idiot playing with rocks in the middle of the floor. You just can't serve tea like that. Won't happen.
It would be the same as stepping into your man cave 10 min before scheduled poker night to find that she thought it would be a great place to store in full display her life collection of dolls and fluffy animals . . . oh and the windows look better drapped in "salmon". You just can't pretend to have testosterone in that enviroment . Won't happen.
Joking aside the small sharp flakes will get between the carpet fibers and shorten it life or help tear a seat cover.
Funny how it changes right? When I first started carving we lived in an apartment and a big carving project has us wading through chips and shavings for days. Now I need a pike row to defend my right to leave a shaving on my bench over night.

Hey PB I feel you're pain. At my crib if I put a sack of gold bullion on the table, that doesn't go there and has to be moved immedietly or she'l fly around the room on her broom and shoot lightning bolts at me. Now if she puts a sack of putrid garbage on the end table that is where it belongs and it is not to be touched under penalty of broom and lightning bolts.Ron
