I occasionally have lulls in my woodworking hobby. They don't happen often, and they usually don't last long, but there are occasionally times when I just don't feel like getting into the shop for some unknown reason. This spring was one of those times, and this time the lull seemed to last unusually long - perhaps a month or so.
Right now is certainly an anti-lull (is that a word/phrase?). I'm Jonesin to spend every available moment in the shop.
I'm in the midst of building a new outfeed table that will also serve as a second workbench. This will look a bit like a Holtzapffel bench but with a few twists and mods - chief amonst them is an apron. Aaah, how I love my apron.
I just got the base completed and I'm in the home stretch for the top. Hopefully the thing will be completed before too long, but as usual it all depends on how much time I can squeeze in the shop (which often occurs by weaseling out of other honey-do items). So what if we've been working on finishing a room in our basement for a year and a half, so what if I haven't trimmed the yard in far too long, so what if I need to replace/repaint some exterior woodwork before the snow starts to fall, and so what if the "real" project list doesn't contain a new bench at all. I'm gonna make me another bench, and I'm loving every minute of it.
