Jeff: I only work in the shop on some weekends. So that precious time is dedicated to the projects.
Ideally I should sharpen between project.
That does not happen as I am in hurry to work one the other 2 or 3 projects I started while the glue is drying.
So the best time is weekdays at night. But everything I have is on wheel and when I am done for the day my wife park her car inside.
That make most of my tool unreachable.

When I am in the middle of project, it’s a lot easier to reach for the sand paper and give the tool a quick sharpening than stopping everything.
