Wood workers must generally be early risers. I've never been able to sleep in, which makes for great quiet mornings as the family sleeps in. I always see a lot of folks on the board posting early Saturday and Sundays.
Just an observation as I motivate myself to get down to the shop and do some clean up. |

Rob,
I guess this early on a Sunday, we need to run in stealth mode... sweeping up or just hand tools. AS much fun as big noisy power tools are, there is a lot of pleasure in using planes, chisels, scrapers, etc. I just have to figure out how to match hand tool time with neighborhood quiet time. 
Ray

Yeah, if I don't get up & going early then I develop 'mechanical problems' & hafta put a rear end in my recliner. .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)") Some nights when I can't sleep I'll just log on to look at posts too. I've seen others on at odd hours for probably the same reason. The news sites certainly don't offer much anymore. | |

I always get up at 6 am unless I have trouble sleeping and get up before then.
I don't have the stealth mode problem though, My shop is far enough from the house that I can use any tool up to the chainsaw without complaints.
It's when I want to achieve that early American distressed furniture look that I have to be careful of the time. Don't want to awaken sleeping wife with the shotgun.  | |

I don't know. I was kind of thinking lots of people around here were whimping out and sleeping in. there are lots of times I come on here at 2 am or so and am alone! Some of you guys need to step it up!
(PS: I also clean the shop early in the morning....I hope that isn't a bad thing...) | |

What IS this strange procedure you call 'clean the shop'? .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") | |

Out here in the boondocks not many to disturb except the whipoorwills but one of my immediate neighbors is a State trooper currently assigned to midnight shift. Projects in the early morning hours are kept at a quiet level until his shift changes again. No need to tick off a heavily armed neighbor

(PS: I also clean the shop early in the morning....I hope that isn't a bad thing...) I am also on here a lot in the very early am 2 or 3 am and when the members online count drops to one "just me", I usually log off. Guess I am scared to be by myself

Also when I can't walk through all the saw dust on the floor. | |

I've been on at all hours of the night, but it's not due to being an early riser, instead it's because I worked shift work for 16 years. I kind of wonder if that will ever go away, I've been three years clear of midnites and I'm waiting for a week of good sleep at night.
Well, I guess you still be seeing me online at odd times.

I worked shift work for 5 years, 2nd and 3rd. I don't have any issues sleeping at night, but I can't sleep past 7 AM. Even if I stay up late. So if I don't get to bed at a decent hour, I'm still awake at 7, just feel lousy all day. | |

I am on at all times because I don't sleep well. Now since I moved my scroll saw to the house I may spend more time on that than online.

So if I don't get to bed at a decent hour, I'm still awake at 7, just feel lousy all day. Years ago, before I had kids, I broke my ankle and was out of work for three months. When I had no one to answer to, and on my own timeline, my natural hours became bed at 10pm and wake at 5:30 am.. I guess that maybe my natural body clock. Jimmy
