Humpday Softball

The coffee hasn't kicked in yet so coming up with a good trivia questions seems impossible. All I have is an easy one. But if I think of a better one I'll follow up. No googling and watch the box!!

How are the words "als ik kan" related to woodworking?

Huh?  A Hint.....

Either this is not the softball I thought it was or nobody has looked at the question. With the new format I can't tell how many folks opened the question. Oh well....a hint is in order. Since I'll sign off for the day soon I'll check back in the morning...here is the hint....those words, more often than not, appeared on oak.

Not wishing to be critical of your questions, but is that the best you can do?

Humpday Answer

The Golden Uni this week will be shipped to John for knowing that those words were the motto of Gustav Stickley and were part of the stamp that he applied to his work. The motto in English roughly translates to "to the best of my ability".

I don't get paid to do this. If you have better questions, by all means, post them.

Hi Thomas,

Whoops, I should have put a smiley, I was making an oblique reference to the translation of "als ik kan"... I wasn't being critical of the question at all!

My sincere apologies, no offence intended...

Ahhh...context!

No worries....I get the joke now! And now that I think of it, it's a pretty good one!

Hi Thomas,

Actually I could have avoided the confusion with better punctuation, consider if I had written it this way. (and added the smilie)

Not wishing to be critical of your questions, but is that,... "the best you can do"? :)
