Woodworker

Did You Know?

Woodworkers May Be The Best Family Guys In The World? Consider:

How Big Is Your Workshop? H

Under 250 sq ft..................42.6% |

250 to 499 sq ft.................31.8%

500 to 999 sq ft................ 13.6% |

1,000 sq ft. or more.............4.7%

If you want to get married and stay married ... we are your folks:

Marital Status:

Single/never married ,

. .10.5%

Married ...........

. .81.4%

Divorced .........

,, 6.7%

Widowed/widower

1 2%

With the rest of the country showing divorce rates well into the double digits, those looking for a steady-Eddie (or Eclie) spouse might do well to look for someone with a bit of sawdust on their shoes.

Well, if you are going to be married, you've got to live somewhere — where do most Woodworker's Journal readers tend to hang out?

Ninety percent of them live in their own homes. We, of course, know that a good number of them also have woodworking shops included.. .but hey, it's part of the package.

So do woodworkers win the prize as the best family-focused folks around? It's hard to say for sure, but they get our vote. Of course, we might just be a bit biased!

What Are You Working On?

That's a question that every woodworker likes to ask buddies. And while there are hundreds of answers, one single category (from eight possible answers) outweighs them all!

Projects to improve my home:..................34%i

What Do Woodworkers Spend The Majority Of Their Hobby Money On?

As you may have suspected, it's the wood: 72.71 percent of woodworkers say that they spend the most money on wood and plywood in any given year, (lumber, MDF, melamine, hardboard veneer, etc.)
