[3584ELK]

I am a big elk hunter, and like most of you folks, post on more than one forum.  SO...my favorite elk rifle is chambered to .358 Norma Magnum, hence 358, then 4 to substitute as "for" and the ELK is self explanatory.  So, 358 for elk.   I even had a Colorado license plate made with that moniker!   

[stumpy]

I have my fathers hands (actually just like his). They are wide, big, and have short fingers. All my nephews call me Uncle Stumpy. So there ya go

[Burlkraft]

I do a lot of turning and straight grain just doesnt do it anymore. I LIKE BURLS 8) 8) 8) 8)

A friend of mine mixed burls with part of my last name and that's how Burlkraft came about. That is also the name of my business.....for tax purposes it should be poorkraft :D :D :D

[treecyclers]

My handle is what I do, who I am, and what I love.
Treecyclers started as an idea on a Taco Bell Napkin after I saw what a "big tree company" was doing to hte forests south of town, and I had a better idea. Besides I was PITHED!
Them DanG boneheads were choppin up ponderosa by the WHACK3 (That's a Whack, Cubed!)
So, I figgered out how to tie in tree recycling and my custom furniture operations together, pumped about 45K into the whole schlemeel, and have been ramping it up since.
I take the trees that would otherwise be wasted, recycle them into lumber and firewood, convert the lumber to furniture and the firewood to heat and ash, which then nourishes my garden, along with my planer shavings and sawdust from the shop!
Hence, Treecyclers!
However, my CB callsign is scarface, due to a faceplant on my buddy's rocker panel at 1AM after being awake for 48 hours straight, without eating, and being dehydrated like a champ!

[Woodwalker]

Mine came about from how I use to get to work. Electrical lineman, climbed a few trees starting out.

[barbender]

I had just gotten a new 24" bar for my jred from Bailey's. Got it pinched cutting the top off a birch, so I got the skid steer to free it.  Well, I got moving the tree and didn't notice a stump on the side the saw was on, it cuaght and bent the bar real bad. I was lucky it didn't bust my saw up. Anyhow, came in that night and I was on here and needing a handle, and I was still feeling guilty about bending that up and needed a reminder to not be so stupid. So Barbender it was.

[Reddog]

[mudpupdave]

Hi ya'll,
I was 16 years old when I got into drywall finishing, I was the youngest finisher on a crew of 4.....they kept calling me the "pup" soon it became "mudpup" on one of our jobs we were doing lathe and plaster-about 25-30 feet in the air.... it was too hard climbing up and down so we started slinging the plaster to each other and I was able to hit my target about 90% of the time..they started calling me "mudslinger" but I kept mudpup......

[jon12345]

My name is Jon and I like the number 12,345. :D  Really I was just in a hurry to sign on and couldn't think of anything good at the time.

[Paschale]

In America, that date has already happened.  That would be the fifth of April, according to the way we label dates over on this side of the pond.  Doesn't make much sense, does it?   :

[SPIKER]

I've had my nickname since I was active duty in Military:  had a longer spiked hair flat top:   it stands straight up on it's own and straight OUT so I look like I have a FRO as it grows out.   though I also had a reputation for emumm chasing & catching manny of the oposite sexs too ;) so the guys knew for both reasons wy my nickname was what it is and well the girls only got 1/2 the story :D smiley_biggrin01

[IMERC]

I was covering for an electrical contractor in a grain mill while he was out fer surgery...
while I was there I fixed several other things for some other contractors that couldn't show in the alloted time...
After a while the plant manager would just tell me to fix "it".. what ever "it" was

when I gave him the bills for about a month's work / living there he had "a lot" to say... including you are some kind of Industrial MERCenary...
must not have been too bad because I had the preferred slot for over two years after that...

[Raphael]

I always wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.  :D ;D :D

  Actually I was already using my real name on the Timber Framers Guild's Ask the Experts BBS and my first post here was to the TF/Log Building forum so I used it here for consistancy.
  My usual handle (CB, BBS, usenet, etc.) is Archangel, I got it before I was born but after I was named.  An artist friend asked my mother if I was going to become a famous artist and she replied "No, he's going to become an Archangel".  No pressure, eh?  ;D

[jack]

[Sprucegum]

We moved to the country when I was 6 years old and I was told I could get chewing gum right off the trees!

I tried and tried but no matter how hard I chewed that DanG stuff still taste like Spruce  >:(   ???
I expected it to taste just like store-bought.  :D

[tcsmpsi]

I got/formed it when we got internet service in town about 10 yrs ago (local phone company).  When I went in to sign up for it, as it was for the business(s), I just used the first letters of the two dba's.  As time has gone by, I have found that I have to have a LOT of usernames (many of which have to be of specific configurations), and use the original as much as possible to keep from having to remember and/or write down and keep up with so many.  It is also one that is never taken (unless I already have) and never had to wrestle .com for. 

[limbrat]

The only night of the year that i have trouble sleeping cause im excited is the one before squirrel season starts.
When i was in junior high we were taking a easy test i started making cat squirrel distress calls whistles,chirps and grunts. Didnt realize i was doing it got caught,got in trouble, got named. ;D

[joelmar10]

Joel is my first name, though I went by Joey and Joe at different stages in my life.  My mother named me after my grandpa Joseph, but didn't like the name Joseph.  She also named my brother Jody after my grandpa (huh?!).  She was married to a Mr. Martin whose surname I share.  Then about fifteen years ago she had her first two initials followed by MAR10 on her license plate.  I started using joelmar10 when I got my first email account years ago and have used it ever since.  And I still get a chuckle when someone online addresses me as joelmar.   My name somehow remains hidden in plain sight.    smiley_curtain_peek

[jon12345]

I feel your pain Joel, I've been addressed as Jon12345 several times  :D :D :D
