tuner Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Right now I am set up in a small space, my saw and a desk as my work space.. I was just looking around and realized I had 4 projects going on at once, waiting for wood on one , some blades on another, glue to set up. Do you switch between on going projects or is it me just enjoying my hobby ? lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Of course I do! I have a stack of 4 pictures, pattern attached to the wood and ready to meet the saw, I am ready to sand parts and start assembling a wooden gear clock, sitting on my second saw is a 1/2 completed "Time Keeper" dragon that will not be a time keeper but instead of a clock will be holding a magic glass ball, I hope, I just received, yesterday a beautiful pattern on "The Last Supper", ordered the wood for it today, which my son requested, and after seeing the pattern, my wife "ordered" one also, she doesn't pay very well, my son bought me an M1A rifle and an FNS 9mm pistol, how could I refuse him...? And I am loving every minute of it. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Always have multiple projects going. I have about 6 or 7 pen projects I am working on and also just ordered some clock inserts for a project I want to make as a thank you gift to someone so that will be another project. Nothing wrong with that. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have a few running at the same time. Not counting multiples of the same piece. Some of the things I do take a few days to do. So I switch back and forth as required. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don in brooklin on Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have a couple of PHDs (Projects Half Done) at any one time. Sometimes I just loose interest and move on and eventually come back to it. Usually with Intarsia. I also start on Christmas early each year and I make a couple of proto types that await the bosses approval. The joys of being retired is not having a dead line. amazingkevin and barb.j.enders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Scroller Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Way to many. Besides 9-10 scroll saw projects I am fixing a table for church, fixing a bench for the dock and building a corner shelf for the boss. Who knows what will get added to the list today. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've usually got at least 3 or 4 goin' at once. The joys of owning multiple saws. Most of my pieces are Native American or something "creative" Mrs. Boss has cooked up for me to do. Amongst other wood workin' projects I'm tryin' to accomplish. You're not alone on this one, tuner.

Bpardue Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I will have several Intarsia projects going on in different stages all the time as well as Fretwork. Right now I have about 6 intarsia pieces cut and ready to shape (doing some of that this weekend). I have one Wildwood Clock design in process, about 4 intarsia pieces about half cut out and a toy truck ready for finishes. I depends on the mood I'm in on what I do in the shop. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you switch between on going projects or is it me just enjoying my hobby ? I always have multiple projects going.... right now I have 9 clocks cut and in bins ready for sanding, staining, and assembly. I have two more clocks in the process of being cut. I also have two scenes about 1/2 done, a wolf scene and an old barn. and getting a jump on Christmas I have 3 sleighs ready for cutting. and now I have 4 wood burning projects ready to start and 1 in progress. If or when I get bored with one piece I move to another and then come back to it later I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandaideman Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have 10 wood projects going which I work on between mowing, tilling, planting weeding and so on. I get bored easily so need things I can flit from one to the other. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Oh wow I am a minority of one. I only ever have one project going at a time and I will not start another until that one is finished. That does not include finishing. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Shoot, I have a stack of about 20 race tracks that need to be cut ou, about 10 wordart projects to cut out, not to mention all the dragons (yes I still have more dragons) to cut out, dog puzzles to cut, jigsaw puzzles to cut out and my large Santa Sleigh and Reindeer to finish up painting. I think that's all I have left. I really need to find someone to support me so I can work in the shop all the time.

Denny Knappen Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I guess I am with Marg on this one. I have one at a time unless glue is drying or waiting for the finish to dry. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK Moose Nugget Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I have 4 projects going atm...a sign for the door to my 'wreck room', as my wife refers to it, 2 tattoo-style plaques and a fretwork tiger from SSWC magazine. The tiger needs a bit of a fix. One of the bridges broke as I cut it. Not difficult to fix, but have to be 'living right' the day I tackle it.

Bill WIlson Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I rarely have more than one project going on at a time. My shop time is limited, so when I start on a project, I like to get it finished. Around Christmas time, I may have 2-3 in process, concurrently, but that is typically an exception.

Sparkey Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yes I have a three scarllsaw projects going on. I have a couple of woodworking projects going on, and two quilts that I am working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've usually got a couple going. if I'm working on the lathe I've always got a scroll saw project going as well I work on it while waiting for glue or finish to dry on the turning project. I have 3 intarsia projects started and in various stages most times. As well as several turning things ready to go.I've always got several things ready whenever I get the urge to start something "new". danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Scrolling for as long as We all have I say its just not Natural to Not have at least THREE projects going at the same time. Amen :+} garyo1954 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
