We all have our coping mechanisms. This one just happens to hang on a pegboard.

The first design in the Woodworker Wisdoms series features a clean silhouette of a coping saw paired with the phrase “This is my coping mechanism.” Simple, understated, and clever — just like the tools it honors. A small line of text at the bottom marks it as Woodworker Wisdoms #1, the shirt that started it all.

Some of the best ideas strike when you’re not even looking for them. The Woodworker Wisdoms series was born one afternoon when I headed down to my basement workshop to grab a screwdriver — and, out of the corner of my eye, noticed my coping saw hanging on the pegboard. The phrase “This is my coping mechanism” instantly came to mind. By the time I got back upstairs, the whole concept for a collection of tool-inspired, tongue-in-cheek t-shirts was taking shape.

Each design in the Woodworker Wisdoms lineup blends subtle humor with clean, vintage drafting-style artwork — the kind that speaks to makers, tinkerers, and anyone who finds peace in the rhythm of a well-worn shop. Whether you swing a hammer or just appreciate a clever pun, this series is for you.

Collect them all — and wear your workshop wisdom with pride.
