Every year, woodworking sites go to great lengths to entertain us with their April Fools jokes, and I always seem to miss a few. Not this year! I’m on the hunt for every woodworking-related April Fools joke I can find. And I’m going to post it here so you don’t miss it either. Hope you enjoy! And by the way, if you find some I missed, post them here so I can add them to the list.

The sissy stick is so funny!
He tries so hard to keep a straight face using that pocket dovetailer. I wonder how many takes were needed to finish the video.
I look forward to Lee Valley’s every year!!

I’m not gonna lie… I would probably buy a Pocket Dovetailer.
“Mizikai yakunitatanai” = “Short useless”
(OK, grammatically, it should be Mizika*kute* yaku ni tatanai which would mean “short and useless”…but who’s counting? Great posts.)
The best part is the picture of the guy cutting dovetails in his toast.
On the pocket dovetailer video the guy says “I like to use a Sharpie marker because it’s a lot easier to see when I’m working” Absolutely hilarious!!!
Thanks for the collection!
