Project accountability in woodworking & furniture making. How can someone achieve that if they’re new to this process and may be looking to take on or better manage clients? The simplest answer…hold yourself accountable….
Today’s entry will be a bit shorter than usual. It’s more of a simple appreciation post vs a how to or a slightly deeper dive into projects and shop things. With that noted, the versatility of wood is simply awesome…don’t you think?
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.
I’m often inspired by wood scraps. Not so much with their grain, tone or overall appearance, but with what can potentially be made from them. It’s almost a completely blank canvas yelling at me “build something awesome”. This is what sparks my creativity at times.
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.
