🪚 Why Humor Is a Key Tool in the Woodshop
- Relieves Stress: Woodworking can be precise, frustrating, and time-consuming. A well-timed joke lightens the mood and helps people push through mistakes or tedious tasks.
- Builds Camaraderie: Whether you’re in a shared workshop or an online forum, humor creates connection. It’s a way for woodworkers to bond over shared experiences—like mismeasuring twice and still cutting wrong.
- Celebrates the Craft: Puns and jokes often play on terminology (“I saw it with my own eyes!”), turning technical language into something playful. It shows pride in the craft while keeping it approachable.
- Encourages Learning: Humor makes tutorials and plans more engaging. A funny anecdote about a woodworking fail can stick in someone’s memory better than a dry warning.
- Tradition & Identity: Woodworking has a long history of storytelling, and jokes are part of that oral tradition. They help pass down wisdom with a wink and a chuckle
A man walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. The man said, “Shingles.” So she took down his name, address, medical insurance information,and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aid came out and asked the man what he had. The man said, “Shingles.” So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told the man to wait in the examining room.
A half-hour later a nurse came in and asked the man what he had. The man said, “Shingles.” So she gave the man a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, then told him to remove all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later, the doctor came in and asked the now fully-nude man what he had. The man said, “Shingles.”
The doctor said, “Where?”
The man said, “Outside on the truck. Where do you want ’em?”
