“You can read about Chris’s acquisition of the Moto-Saw here – and find out why one of his nicknames is Sparky.”

Now we know why he has started his pursuit of the lost art….

As a woodworker Meghan’s unmatched;
In fact she works unattached.
That’s a skill with hand tools,
And she suffers no fools,
But a sharp guy would find her a catch!

The early woodworker, a joiner,
Made things of great beauty–nothing plainer.
Meghan’s shown some great skills,
And learned from her ills,
That the best work oft’ times needs a partner.

In case I should win this great prize
I think it is just the right size
I’ll build it a table
of which I am able
I just like to accessorize

There once was a man name of Chris,
who thoughts of more tools would dismiss.
But, though his saw skills had nary a flaw,
he tried an old Moto Saw,
to see if it’s copes would be bliss!

The Moto-Saw without a cord
will thrill you whenever you’re bored
just think of poor Chris
so happy ’bout this
that someone else the saw has scored

Reflecting on tools that didn’t work, I offer the following laments:

There once was a man from West Fane,
Who bought him a razor blade plane,
He put in a sharp blade,
But no shavings it made,
So he sold it to a guy up in Maine.

This guy bought him a tool at the fair,
“Will remove paint!” the showman did swear,
When at home this to prove,
The paint wouldn’t remove,
So he threw it in a drawer in despair.

I bought me some tools at a meet,
This screwdriver really looked sweet,
After buying the tool,
Found it wasn’t so cool,
Cuz the handle was loose, wouldn’t seat!

At an auction bought tools as a lot,
And some of them looked really hot,
But upon close inspection,
(and further reflection,)
I had bought things that I should have not.

I saw this saw for the first time right here, your write-up was clever, and the saw I found dear.
The saw it’s a classic, the concept is great, why wear out your arm, when you can sit and just wait?
I would cherish this tool, for its use as intended; I am begging you Megan with my handshake extended.
I deserve this fine tool and will put it to use, and to you I promise it will see no abuse.
Let me have it and to all I will show, that the arms back and forth motion is really quite slow….

I do have burning desires
And experience at working with wires
So please pass me the torch
With it I’ll work on my porch
Though it will take much longer than fires!

I sure hope it doesn’t arc, EEK!
I could end up much worse than Sparky
That would ruin my day
But then, what the hey
Moto-Saws are real cool, no malarkey!

Third and fourth lines are melded. Know what meld means? TYPO!! Kinda like your spelling of “”linerick”"
Be nice.

If you want to do beautiful work
then go where the good old tools lurk
see Schwarz for the best
the cope is a jest
when it’s gone he’ll rest with a smirk
