cutterboy

My father tagged me with the name when I was 13 years old. He caught me doing something he did not want me to do. He was very angry! For my punishment I had to cut down all the trees along a stone wall beside a field.(about 200') Then anything large enough for firewood I had to cut to stove lenth. All of this was done with a hand saw.

On a Saturday when I was about half done my cutting, the family was thinking of going to a movie. At lunch my brother asked my father if we were all going. Dad answered,"All of us except the cutterboy". The name just stuck.

Woodcarver

When I joined the forum I recycled a username that I had used previously when surfing the net in search of tools or information relating to my hobby.

Had I thought about it a little more, I would probably have called myself Country_Boy in keeping with the line from the country song to the left.

Bruce_A

my mother,  I couldn't remember another.

Paschale

This is a great thread!  My name really doesn't have anything to do with me at all.   ::) No interesting story.  Basically, just picked a word that I know I'll get a login and password at the very first try, cuz I got sick of everywhere I went, having to try a bunch of different names.  This was from one of my music history classes back in college that just popped into my head one day...it's from a Gregorian chant, Victimae Paschale Laudes, which basically means "all praise to the Paschal Lamb," and the "victimae" part refers to the crucifixion. It was sung at Easter time in the church in the middle ages.  We had to listen to all kinds of Gregorian chant in music history, and this one I really liked for some reason, and it always stuck in my mind.  One day, I want to compose a piece of music based on it.  So, when I was searching for a random word, that no one else would most likely use at webpages, Paschale popped into my head, and it stuck.  So, though I've never in my life been called "Paschale," it's funny that now, through the FF, I am!   ;D  It's set in stone, now that WV_Hillbilly made me a cool scrollsaw nameplate.   8)

Oh...if anyone wants to hear this particular tune, you can check it out here:

Oh...and btw...I don't sit around listening to Gregorian Chant!   ;)

Oh...and for what it's worth...it's pronounced puh-SKOlly.  ::)

VA-Sawyer

I thought that Arky had a great handle !   After giving it a little thought, I figured I might get away with VA-Sawyer. So far it has worked.  ;D

I had just finished a frame when I found this forum and needed a nick, TF sounded like a good one.

I love the woods and the trees and the animals. Even in the serious cold of January, soft critters with big ears (&big feet!) are hopping around under the young conifer trees leaving m&m s for the dog.
It's the first thing that came to mind.

Texas Ranger

Was a Texas State Forester for a while, got called forest ranger a lot by the uninitiated.  When the web came along it seemed appropriate.  Some forums it is truncated into TRanger, or on some, The Ranger.  Depends on the forum.
