Foxfold Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'm sure they were 'beautiful' baskets Kevin. I must admit to doing exactly the same thing myself. OzarkSawdust, amazingkevin, OCtoolguy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 It's always my wife that's at fault on that one.. When I first started sawing she sold pieces at work before they had a finish on them, LOL One evening she mentioned to me that she was going to take it to work and show her co-workers.. I said you can but I need to finish it first.. It disappeared and never returned.. finally came back as green paper bills.. I said next time wait until I'm done with it... Next time comes and guess what... disappeared again.. I finally got smart and stopped bringing them in to show them off until I'm absolutely done..

ScollSaw Slasher Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 My most famous no picture project is back in the late 70's where I took a Dodge Van and converted into a custom camper van. I mean it was unbelievable what I accomplished by myself having no experience in cutting metal for new windows, running new electrical, etc etc. I have absolutely no pictures of it and had it for six years.

OCtoolguy Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I have sort of found the fix for this problem. I take pics of each stage along the way so that when something is done, I have a pictorial history of each piece. The fact that we can take quick pics with our phones had added that ability. amazingkevin and don watson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 My cell phone is always out. I photograph everything I do. If someone has a question I can often fine a picture to explain things. I sometimes think I post too many photos, although "No pictures, it didn't happen". amazingkevin, OCtoolguy and OzarkSawdust 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
