Must keep.

It looks like someone collecting articles from old prints.

I should stat doing that. All my notes on smll pieces of paper gets lost.

cool! nice to have a record – must trigger a lot of memories.

That press has seen a lot of amazing projects. I wish I had thought to chronicle my woodworking journey as you did.

At first I was thinking of the wrong century turn, then I remembered that even I am not that old. Wonderful
idea, and way more useful than a diary. I know a lot of us would be helped it that was translated into a full
notebook. Thank you for sharing your world and giving us an idea to make our shops easier to use.

Thanx for reminding me to stay with my log, Martyn. I’ve been keeping notes in a spiral ring notebook – from time to time. I had planed to put entries in it daily, BUT . . . I know, no excuses – just do it! It is a way to keep track of how much time I put on a particular carving – thoughts, what happened, discoveries, new experiences and whatever. Didn’t they use to call it diaries or journal? My “Twists n Turns o Life” ended up with 200 hrs – some days 3 or 4, some days as much as 9 hours – that’s when I’m fired up and on a roll – couldn’t quit – forget to eat – nothing else matters . . . I will do better to keep up on my logging, Martyn.

A nice history lesson of you Martyn
