I’m not reinventing the wheel here, I’ll make that clear. Flower boxes, planter boxes and patio ‘dress up’ items have been created in many ways by many other woodworkers for a long time now. I’m just sharing my project thoughts and results.
As seasons change so do the projects one is working on. Rolling into spring often means more outdoor creations. How can you adapt as a woodworker? Should you adapt?
Inspiration as a woodworker and creator comes from many different places. Sometimes it’s the workshop. Sometimes it’s while I’m out driving. Sometimes it’s from a generic mainstream mass produced ‘thing’ in a store.
Being organized in your workshop or woodshop is one of the pillars of craftsmanship. Some of us may function better than others with clutter or slight chaos, but overall being neat and organized leads to better efficiency with projects.
Woodworking by its very nature is VAST in variety. Wood species, project type, stains, finishes and overall construction make the possibilities nearly endless. What if you never deviate from your ‘comfort zone’ though on a build?
