My shop hiatus has continued for 2 months now. However, after going over to ScottM's place this morning and being around/lifting/loading/talking about tools and wood, I was really motivated to come home and finally get down in the shop and make something. :wink_smil
I started by moving my stereo back down there for the long afternoon of sawdust making. :widea: Got it down there, hooked it up, hooked the laptop to it and had my tunes going. :headbang: After that, I walked around, looking at pieces of wood and letting the wheels turn. :eusa_thin
"I could make a new coffee table?"
"No, don't have enough wood and not enough space for the old one." :eusa_doh:
"Oh! We need a coat rack!"
"Where on Earth would we put it though? :icon_scra Oh, and it's summer time, genius." :slap:
"How about a rustic chair for the back porch?"
"It won't fit on the back porch." :BangHead:
"Ah, heck, why don't I just turn a bowl."
(Go back upstairs and notice that in the den alone there are over 12 bowls, most of which have nothing in them but dust):swoon::swoon::swoon:
After about an hour of this, I was on my way back upstairs with the stereo and laptop. :sad11:
It was at that point that it occurred to me. :widea: I had finally figured it out! :elvis: The reason I haven't been in the shop is that we simply don't have the space to fit anything else in our apartment. :rotflm::rotflm::rotflm: My head has been spinning with things to build, but alas, where would we put them? :dontknow: Oh well, I guess the hiatus will continue until we get out of this tiny little place. :wsad:
Thanks for letting me share my epiphany. :gar-La;
