    Default Working on the list!

    I’ve got too many projects in the works, so I’m attacking them one by one…or two, maybe three…oh man!

    Second Wind Workshop: A Little Attraction

    Last week I was involved in a discussion about how many woodworkers always seem to have multiple projects in the works. Some are in various stages of completion and some have been sitting around for quite a while (in my case at least!) Some might even be forgotten!

    So I was motivated to start working my way through them to start to clear off my list. Based on how/when I can work in the shop, I may always have a couple of things in the works, but there's no reason why I should have eight different projects going...a couple of which have been on the shelf for...eh hem...years!

    I was thinking about this the other day and I have 2 long term and 4 short term projects on the go. I always seem to get the short term ones done before the long term ones. Procrastination will be the death of me.

    Know how you feel Pete. Currently renovating, modifying and adding to our recently acquired abode.

    Trouble is SWMBO does not understand,. even after 25 years of me, that not everything can be started and finished before moving on.

    Maybe the male of the species is genetically driven to have multiple projects on the go!

    Yep, agreed. I also remind the other half that the fairer sex cannot multi-task, especially when they have a headache

    This thread made me look up on the racks in my shed and see material cut for a nest of tables about 8 years ago and for a blanket chest about 5 years ago.
    But these were for our house. Stuff for all the extended family (and others) has pushed them way back in the queue.
