I used a similar line when I was demonstrating my shaving horse.








I later told Roy that I'd stole one of his jokes.








He told me that there are 28 woodworking jokes, and that's one of them.


I'd love to hear the other 27!


At least two:

1) I think he wrote that when lumber mills with large circular blades displaced pit sawing, they took the old pits, cut them up, and sold them for post holes.

2) If you're using an eggbeater drill or a brace and bit, if you turn the handle backwards - you end up adding wood.

Yeah, I know it's corny .....
