The wife and I decided to remodle the shop so its a mess right now. I am buged up to get to makeing dust. We work full time and with the usuall home chores to do it cuts into avaliable time to be out there. I have high hope that the new layout will bring us out to make dust more often. -- My theroy in wood working will be. If I'm not enjoying doing it i won't do it. |

It’s sad, my kids littlest already finished school for the summer, and my older one will be out soon. My shop time will drop like a stone. I was getting about 8 hours a week; it will be more like 2 for the summer. Next school year I’ll be up to about 10. Can’t wait until they are both in school full days :-) -- John |

I’d be interested to understand how the layout of a shop would give more time? My time varies as well. Its a hobby so it could range from 0 – 20 hours per week. I’d say an average is probably 8 hrs. I like to get at least one day on the weekend, but that doesn’t always happen. Saturday was wet, damp and raining here, so I could spend the day in the shop without any problem. -- There is nothing like the sound of a well tuned hand plane. - http://timetestedtools.wordpress.com (timetestedtools at hotmail dot c0m) |
