Whats that one setup step or construction process you hate the most?
For me its making a rail and stile door and change my table saw blade to 45 degrees.

Changing my band saw blade. It drives me nuts. Practically have to disassemble the whole saw to do it. By the time I've changed it, reassembled the saw, tensioned and aligned the blade, about a half hour has passed!

i like sanding!
what i dislike most though is marking all the pieces, drawing all the tenon and mortise emplacements etc… especially when im building stuff in series and have nearly 100 joints to mark!
don't like anything that makes alot of noise either.

I hate my family coming up to me when I'm working. They don't realize how much of a safty hazard that is. So I started putting a sign on the door going out to the shop/garage. Stating working don't walk up to me when you hear a machine running.

Gosh! Never really thought about what part of woodworking I don't like.

When I was about 9, my Granddad told me that ANY day fishing is better than ALL days spent working! That is kind of my approach to woodworking. All jobs concerning woodworking are better than just about anything else I do.

I would say that my LEAST favorite activity I do is developing my bill of materials and my cut lst (which frequently are one in the same) when I am designing my own furniture or building custom stuff for others.

I am not crazy about trying to price my items when working for others, either.

And yes, I even like sanding! Give me a random orbital sander and a box of hook and loop sanding discs, a good dust collecting device nearby (a downdraft table or a 20×20 furnace filter taped to a 20×20 box fan), and I'll sand all day with no complaints!

Greetings all,

I like everything I do in my shop…. I have no complaints about anything..
If I didn't like doing all the steps in a project, or vacumning, sweeping, and clean-up,
going after materials, chasing down parts, or anything else that involves working in my shop.
then I really don't need a shop afterall….do I? I guess I could sit around a swap thumbs….....NOT!!!!!!!!
