re: HOW DO YOU CARRY OUT YOUR PROJECTS?

Great topic and responses. I’m glad to hear the similarities that we share. When I get a new request for a project, I sleep on it. I have told everyone that I build it in my head a hundred times before I build it in the shop (I don’t sleep much) My plans are very simple and rough. A few pencil sketches of the project and some key measurements jotted down. The main thing for me is that it fits out the 32" door. My shop has an overhead door but my lumber hoard, I mean "storage"? has blocked it and I have not opened it in 10 years. Cleaning and sweeping is done all the time. If I’m not cleaning, I’m not building. I only wish I had a finishing room so I didn’t have to stop building while finishing. Cheers and safe woodworking to all.
