Starting a New Challenge

Blog entry by sricks posted 131 days ago 288 reads 0 times favorited 11 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I am starting a new endeavor to attempt to get out in the shop and do some woodworking. You can read all about it at my blog Project Artistry 12 in 12 . Basically it comes down to this, I am going to attempt to do 12 woodworking projects in 12 months, so I am calling it my 12 in 12 Challenge. I could really use your support(no, not money, but…oh never mind) and encouragement to keep it and me going. My plan is to chronicle what I am doing on the blog with pictures and video at least once a week. So check it out and leave comments. I will also post other interesting woodworking articles as I find interesting things on my main blog page at http://www.projectartistry.com .

Be sure to tell your friends because I find it way to easy to back out of commitments to myself, so I am looking for a large group of people to hold me accountable and hopefully find it enjoyable as well.

One project a month is realistic. In fact, it’s what I base my work load on in my shop. Most of the commissions that I get, I give myself a month to do. If I finish sooner, I work on shop maintenance, if longer, which is rare, then I have to slide everything a little. Good luck and keep us posted.

Sounds reasonable to me. Are you making sets of things? Matching stuff? What type of projects and how big? Later,
