How much shop time do you get a week?

About 43 hours a week ( 7 days )

-- I GIVE UP!!!! I've cut this @!&*!% board 3 times.... its still too short!

wow! Do you do this as your living? Or is this just your hobby? I am jealous!

At least 9 total hours during the weekdays and at least 15 hours on the weekend. I light a fire in the wood stove on Saturday morning and sometimes just sit and wonder what I feel like doing next. I call it PIDDLING.
Only place I really want to be.

hobby, but when I get home at night, I eat then come out here, go in around midnight or 1 am, depending on if any of the cabs break down. Same here khop… give me a bed and shower… you would never get me out of here.

Like KHOP I do a lot of piddling in my shop (at least that what I tell my wife when she calls and wonders what I am doing). I easily spend 40 to 50 hours a week in the shop. And would spend more time in there but I get to entertain a certain 6 year old after school who definately takes priority over shop time. :)

I tend to spend more time in the shop during the fall/winter when inteferences like landscaping/mowing etc. are scaled back. But this is just a hobby for me so I am not rushed to get a project completed.

Home Hobby, 10 or so during the week and another 12 or so on the weekend. If working on something special, 30 or more for the week.

My wife misses me sometimes.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Here’s my time: Usually go out to the shop around 8-8:30 am (after lots of coffee and streching), work on “something” til 12:00 noon. Go in and eat dinner, then back to the shop til about 2-2:30pm. By then it’s my nap time,so I’m down til about 4-4:30. Get up, have more coffee, head to the shop til supper time around 6:30. Eat—go back out til sometimes 10-11:00(depends on what I’m into). That’s kind of a dailey thing. Then I may not go out there at all. It’s all in how the old back is doing. You see—I’m retired military. I can do what I want to, when I want to. I have no time clock, cause she’s usually at work all day !!! lol

-- My grandpa used to say: "Y'all come back when you can....come after dinner, and leave before supper.."

Lets see, After my wife and I get our 2 year old and 6 month old girls up, changed, fed, dressed, our selves fed dressed, get to the day cares, then both of us to work, kids picked up from day care, home, supper made, everyone fed, dishes cleaned up, play with the kids, then bathed and put to bed we’ve both had 14 hour days. Shop time is very limited, perhaps 2 hours a night a couple of times a week and about 6 hours on the weekends. Working out there in the evenings through the week is a bit dangerous because I’m tired and that’s when accidents happen for me.

none right now due to my surgery but when im up n running hmm… well i have a now 1 yr old girl (happy birthday sweet pea!) and one on the way so when im not in too busy mode i get shop time during the week and weekends i get all day so abouts 30 hours total

-- M.K.

If I get1 hour a day, that’s good. Occasionally more. That’s why it takes me forever to finish a project. I’m working 7 days a week, until I retire next year.
