Whats your next project?

Thats a good start!......I believe that over everything else, the projects for the shop are the most important. A well organized, eficient shop, a nice looking place, makes us to feel condfortble, safe, inspired, positive.

I need to build a new fence. NO, not a table saw fence (that would be a fun project). I need a new fence in my backyard. About 60 feet of it. On the current fence, 75% of the 4×4 post are rotted at the point that they hit the soil. Considering going with steel posts for the fence. Any ideas?

I don’t really know. I am finishing up a laundry center that was “assigned” to me so when that is done (and the laundry room and adjoining bath remodel are completed) I will have to ask my wife what is next on HER list. Somehow she has gotten the notion that it is her mission in life to find things for me to do. :)

I was just talking to my wife about that stuff. Last weekend I was building a new clamp rack to mount on the wall(I bought more clamps). How long can that take. From Friday till Sunday night she had so much for us to do that I never had more than 1/2 hour at a time to spend in the shop. Her answer was (And the problem is?) LOL. We agreed to hang a paper schedule so both of us can keep track of time because like Spaids my list is growing by the day.

-- St. Louis - just a cut away from finishing!

I usually have my shop outside, up until the time it get’s to 40 or lower, then have to take everything back in the garage. Since last summer I’ve been the only one in the country (from what I’ve been told) making and selling a certain product, which I won’t say what it is, hehehe, and needed my shop! I have to take up in the basement next to the washer and dryer. It’s no fun trying to have a shop in 20s.f. of space (at most) when you are cutting lots of MDF. (that dust goes everywhere). So anyway, I finished up making any product I think I need for a show this weekend, and decided next week when I get home, I’m going to make something for ME. I’m thinking a few frame clamps which are all over the place here on LJ.

Man I talk too much.

My priorities: Wedding presents for niece, various shop projects (mostly carts and cabinets).

These however are subject to the whims of the LOML.

-- Derek, Bremerton WA --

The LOML just asked if I could make a foyer table to donate to our kids elementary school. The plan is to glue up the top and take that to school and have the kids sign it. My wife if going to wood burn the signatures into the top while I build the rest of the table. The table will then be donated to the school. They have a yearly event and a silent auction.

Commissioned ,humidor, wine rack and napkin holder..then a few cutting boards.

Well… where do I start?... lol. My wife has so many things for me to do that I forget that I have a shop… lol.

I’ve got a shop bench and a tablesaw station that I’d like to build as soon as it warms up. I started calling around for material prices today…

I was hoping that it would get warm enough today for me to get out and do something, but no such luck. (I got tied up on the LOML’s to-do list… somehow, she doesn’t see a problem with that.)

Im planning a traditional tool chest, currently in working on a disston saw,a urn,playhouse, new shop, tile floors in a bathroom while making new trim,finishing the roof on my house, remodeling my mothers house, did I mention a new work bench. My wife thinks I have a.d.d. what do you think?

-- projects dont pay,pieces are profitable,production is painfull

Living in a place that’s hot and humid year-round, I don’t have an “off-season”. That being said, I’m putting the finishing touches on a lego table for the kids (post and project page soon!).

My next project? Sharpening all my blades!

I am just getting back into woodworking. So, I have cabinets and other various storage projects on my list. My wife has also let me know that she has some “ideas” for the house that she would like me to tackle. It’s a good thing that I enjoy this stuff!

-- A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave. ~Benjamin Franklin

While I haven’t close the shop for the winter, I am excited about warming up and woodworking “season” again. Once I get this beast of a bench finished, I will be diving into a Greene & Greene inspired coffee table for my wife. (notice how 9 out of 10 responses here have something like, “my wife wants me to..”)

Fortunately, even though this is on the honey-do list, I am very excited about it.

For myself – A valet/charging station
For my sister – bookshelvs and computer station
For my youngest son – a music stand that he can take to college
For my oldest son – small turnings: pen, key chain, etc.
For my shop – new storage cabinet to store all my stuff, and restore a belt sander.

That’s funny in, Arizona many of us have to close up shop in the summer. Small shops are like a sauna. If your lucky you have an A/C unit.

Come Oct./Nov. when I get back out there I have a list as long as my arm.

Adirondack chairs
Tendon Jig
Router table extension to table saw
Dust collection system
