I used to be known as the Tadlow Turner and still am in some places from when I had a workshop in Tadlow.
I was apprentice Grumpy git to the master Rod (sadly missed) and changed it to what my grandchildren call me.
Their mum insisted the kids call us grandma and grandpa but Charlotte couldn't say it, she said gruma & grumpa and it stuck.

Mine 'ROWDY' is a nickname I was first tagged with in the Navy.
It comes from the days when they used to screen a western called 'Rawhide' on the TV, the cowboy on the trail was played by Clint Eastwood, the characters name was 'Rowdy Yates' hence the nickname.
Since then nearly everyone calls me Rowdy, even my family except my mum. But thats Mum's ain'it....

Mine is an old CB handle.... Shortened from silverfish....my other half is gold... The rest is history..

I scrollsaw alot and I make a large amount of different clocks. I started doing the craft show circuit some 25 plus years ago. Many of my customers refered to me to as the Clockman. I would constantly hear, hey there is the clockman. Hence I put my initials in front and the rest is history. JTTHECLOCKMAN.
Mine originally started many moons ago as woodyturner for obvious reasons and a few years back when we had our first forum gathering Brian (Grump) for some reason started calling me Lord Woody and from that day it stuck see Brian its all your fault LOL 
Yes Eamonn and your one of the few who knows my real name and uses it on the odd accessionWoody has actually seen me, believe it or not.....

My nickname for years until I moved North was Wally not in its modern meaning but because someone thought I looked like Wally the washing machine man from a television advert from years ago, think it was in B & W. When I go back to Plymouth I still get called Wally
