Sluggo: I'm gonna be a carpenter when I grow up.
Nancy: I wish you'd become a musician. I love to see a boy carrying a musical instrument---It's so DIGNIFIED.
Tag reads: MUSICAL SAW
Actually, when I was a kid, I saw a guy on TV that actually took a bow and actually made music with the non-serrated edge of a saw. Sounded similar to a violin.
They’re not hard to play. I didn’t want to mess up my sister’s bow, but you can get the sound with the gentle use of a plain old hammer. I was inspired to try it after a saw performer came to my school.
.
Musical saws, though, are specially made: no teeth.

Or, like Frank Zappa, he could learn to play the bicycle and his instrument could carry HIM!

At least carpenters can’t be outsourced.

Yes they do play them, or Sluggo could just carry it in a case like the old gangsters used for their tommy guns.

Love it I knew a guy who played beautiful music on a saw!
