Quick Poll

December 14th, 2008 at 9:47

Time!  Time! I need more time!

Wrangling the hands of timeThere are few more common refrains heard from woodworkers.  OK, maybe measure twice, cut once sort of rolls off the tongue a little better, but the complaint that many woodworkers have is that they can’t get into the shop enough to do everything they want to accomplish.

The day job.  The family.  Those obligations we agreed to.

For this week’s poll, I need you to take a long, hard look at how much time you spend in the shop during an average week.  And, yes, I’m aware that some weeks are so busy, you forget to eat and sleep, while other weeks turn into full-fledged shop vacations…

But, on your average, typical week, how much time do you get to cut, plane, pare, shape, turn, sand, scrape and finish your creations?

On a typical week, how much shop time do you get?

    Unfortunately, for me it’s an all or nothing thing. I either get all day Sunday or nada.

    I posted 31-40 it may be a little less when these Christmas gifts are completed and maybe not. ;-)

    Actually my wife has made me change the name of my workshop to the hobby shop. She said a real workshop is place where projects actually get completed. Since I have not completed very many projects she said it is a hobby shop.

    Perhaps a place to store your tools? ;)
