My normal pattern between projects are usually minor shop improvements, simple adjustments, and sometimes even bigger projects like shop furniture. As I wait for the wood for my next project (remember, I’m going to tackle my 2nd guitar), I thought about what has worked and what hasn’t.
My first project was a hack improvement. By that I mean that I took scraps and made some larger shelves to replace a set (also a hack) of smaller shelves. These heck jobs are all about function and not style or finish.
I’ve also been working on storage. In a shop this size (it’s 9′x16′), storage is always an issue so I’m always about improving storage. I always seem to find something to fit better in a certain location than others.
My last improvement project was simply adjusting the lighting. I have plenty of light (some florescent and some incandescent) but based on my last few projects, I wanted to move one of my lights. I think everything is in good shape.
My next project while waiting on the wood is sharpening my plane irons and chisels.
