THE WHISTLING WOODSHOP
Lots of Chipping and Chopping, the whole Woodshop was a Rocking
The radio was blasting, the good times everlasting
Or at least that’s what we certainly had thought.
The radio got axed as the boss let us face facts.
Our Woodwork was so lacking, someone would cop a sacking
But who would wear the Boss’s big right foot?
So we all got together, close knit birds of a feather
And we fixed up every lacking woodwork job.
We turned the thing around that made our old boss frown
Then we felt so proud when the radio was back on loud.
The Woodshop was back in Tune and good time songs filled the room
The woodworkers rejoiced as our praises we often voiced
We turned the thing around that made the old boss frown.

As the sun rises over the glorious Darling Downs
Our Woodshop opens and the wind whistles around
The train rattles the tracks as it passes by
It’s a beautiful day and none would question why
The Table Saw starts up & the sawdust flies
Johno fires up the drum sander and starts feeding it pine
We’re in the middle of spring and it was a day to remember
Our new router turns up free of charge from the sender
The sender was a client that liked the job we did for his Mum
He thought we did beautiful work and wanted to be a grateful Son
Any day in the Woodshop is good day, no question there
Better than Fishing when there’s no fish left to snare.

Looking after your tools is paramount - keeping Axes or Hatchets sharp is a must
I was trying to carve with Waddy Wood
The only wood in the world you never should
It is the hardest on this big blue globe
There’s plenty of people that still don’t know
Trying to carve with Waddy Wood will make you cry
You’ll destroy all your tools before you reason why
Just please take this advice at my request
Waddy Wood is the hardest from the all the tests
So if you like to do carve your designs
You’ll avoid Waddy Wood and you’ll be fine.

It's late and I’m on my ‘Pat Malone’ in the Woodshop
A glance at the clock and I wish it would stop
I promised the boss I’d finish this job today
Whether I will or not, I’m still unable to say.
It’s a pretty big job and I’m making it out of Oak
My favourite wood and the client is a decent bloke
I opened my mouth and said it would be done today
Put your brain into gear before you open your mouth is what they say.
I’ll learn from this one and here’s the thing
Next time they ask ‘how long?’ I’ll say, “How long is a bit of string”.

Optimize your old cluttered shed and turn it into an effective workshop
Learning Woodwork has been the haste since cooking meat improved the taste
DIY has been the go since Sunday Footy stole the show
If embracing wood makes you feel good
Then being a woodworker is what you seek after
Don't dilly dally around, Learn woodwork and you will astound
Woodwork is not possible without Trees
So plant a few hundred when you can please.
Your woodwork projects are your job
But you can be part of a much bigger mob
Help those who struggle the most and your good heart they will boast.
Woodworkers perform the best but let's not forget about the rest
Not all of us can afford a roof made of wooden boards.
Don't have a wooden heart & helping the homeless is a start
There's so much good you can do, if Woodworking is for you.

The Whittling Wood Duck
A Wood Duck walked into our Woodshop one day
Whistling & Singing about the month of May
He whittled all day and had little to say
His skills were great & he never stayed too late
As he talked no smack, we hoped he would come back
He returned 6 months later and his legs were much straighter
This Wood Duck now stood 6 inches taller
Which made our bulldog seem so much smaller
He carved a figurine from Basswood
Then offered it as a gift as only he could
He had style and class and woodwork skills that should last
Better than most we'd entertained in the past.

Woodcarving’s a skill that provides us with sculptures
You scrape away the block to create artistic structures
You can do it with a chisel or even a chainsaw
Some designs are so great your jaw will be found on the floor.
You need to use wood of the right hardness and texture
Which makes lots of sense, no need for me to lecture
Do it by hand using a sharp cutting tool
When learning you’ll get it wrong but that’s not un-cool
Learn it at with a friend and go to night school
Watching a skilled carver can cause you to drool

Pyrography is an art form for both women and men
It includes burning wood with a heated metal pen
It’s a creative method that requires a steady hand
You need the right wood grain if you can understand
Talented sketchers adorn wood to create a demand
Basswood is often used to showcase your design
You could also use Maple which will work perfectly fine.
An artistic form of Woodwork that I hope you might learn
Beautiful creations from causing wood to burn.
