Many of you may be aware that I have a few interests outside of woodworking (crazy, right?). I spend much of my spare time reading comic books and playing video games. It isn’t often that my two worlds collide, but when they do it can be something special. Evan Diaz is a web comic artist who writes/draws a comic strip called August Loves May at AugustLovesMay.com
Apparently, Evan is now getting into woodworking and built his first project: a bed frame. The experience inspired him to create a strip called “Building Stuff With Wood” and it is full of awesome. I thought you folks would enjoy it so with Evan’s permission, here it is. Be sure to visit AugustLovesMay.com to enjoy more of Evan’s work.
hehe yes. Everybody knows the feeling! :) My finger still hurts from last week!
You should use metric system. Much faster…. :)))
I love woodworking humor! It helps when I am frustrated with a project.
Here is another cartoonist I enjoy.

My thoughts exactly Nelson. Such a primitive system.
The splinter. Oh yeah.
OK, true story. Last summer I was working on refinishing a cabinet door for my Step-Son. One with all the small panes of glass. Long story short, I got a BIG splinter buried right in the end of my index finger while sanding the edges around the glass panels. Hurt like the dickens. I spent over an hour trying to dig the darn thing out, and finally gave up. Why give up…well, it hurt like h–l digging in there, and the next morning I was scheduled for a hernia operation. I figured to ask the doctor to take the splinter out while I was asleep under the knife and couldn’t feel anything.
Day of surgury, after laughing his butt off at me, the doc agrees. Hey, call me a coward, but I woke up after the surgury with the splinter gone and a professional looking little Hello Kitty bandaid on the finger.

3/8 divided by two sixteenths?
Thank heavens for the metric system!

Awesomeness!
My Manroar is always punctuated by my wife telling me to quiet down and to quit making dust.
I like it… Funny stuff!
I’m not the only one who reads the comics!

LOL! I love the wife swoon!

What is 3/8ths divided by two sixteenths?
.375 / .125 = 3
i’ve experienced frame #3 more times than i care to admit….
Thanks for the linkage Marc :)
That’s funny! So True. I guess that’s why only woodworkers appreciate the ManRoar, Huh? I look forward to seeing what he does in the future. Thanks for the heads up Marc!
BWAAAAAAAHRRRR! The man-roar biceps aren’t big enough!!
That is hilarious. How true it is……sad but true!
This GREAT!! Something tells me there’s experience behind this!
