The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 16, 2022

So he wants to be in Band. I would guess they would put him in the woodwind section.

i am sure it is hard for his parents to be coping with then idea that junior mitre be cutting from the family tradition…

You can’t work wood with a bandsaw? News to me.

I find the shapes of the parents’ handles interesting. Not gender-neutral.

He saw his future was futile……..

It’s a generational thing. The parents just can’t cope with new technology.

“That’s not the half of it!!! He wants to change his name to Jeff Lynn and hang around Edison’s workshop.”

Ain’t no room for a banned saw in a jug band.

Eventually they will handle the situation and lumber on through this family crisis!

Hey now, no cutting remarks!

I wonder if he’ll start a Garage Band-saw

His parents probably never SAW that coming. ☺☺☺☺ I’ll see myself out.

looks like the jig is up…

The kid’s just another hack

Yvonne is having trouble coping

“This one time, in Bandsaw Camp…”

Mom is starting to fret. His plans don’t dovetail with theirs.

Is this how people get hacked after send out a chain letter?

He’ll be hooked up with some 2×4 floosy in no time.

Maybe his band can play Wooden Ships!?

Give him a little time. He’ll probably get board with it.

He is going to graduate school and becoming a CNC waterjet.

I just knew this wood happen.

Once he heard that old Carpenters album, the little shaver knew he wasn’t sharp enough to cut woodworking.

At least he didn’t want to be a crosscut saw.

Cuts deep, doesn’t it?

His sister went to medical school and became a sawbones.

Maybe he’ll be like the blind carpenter that picked up his hammer and saw.

Dad might get him a DNA test, he doesn’t seem to be cut from the same cloth.

He went on to found Tool.

The carpenters’ saw wants to join a band.

Send him to Band-Camp, he will see the reason, and may get lucky.

Yvonne, why is your blade finer than mine?

The “jig” is up.

Are they afraid he’ll become a gay blade?

(Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

He looks more like a drill press to me.

They always want to talk (wood) shop.

He’ll keep woodworking ahead of the curve

His decision really cuts deep.

I took two years wood working in HS and worked several years in construction and never heard you could not use a band saw on wood. This is like the new math, worthless!

He just couldn’t cut it

He can get into marching band if he knows the drill.

Did you saw what I see?

A rather tooth-some family, aren’t they?
