I am lucky enough to have a wife who says nothing when I am shopping for yet another clamp, router bit, handsaw, etc. She was puzzled at first as to why I could possibly need ANOTHER clamp (???). She is wise though and notices how much more pleasant I am to live with when I get to visit my shop more often. Sometimes I walk in there and just stand for a while and I feel more relaxed about the world. Ha I am totally the same way! I think I can only get away with what I buy for the shop as I do not question when she makes a trip to the art supply store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you need to decide if you want to make shop furniture or home furmiture.. I want to try and make more home type furniture I just need to keep working on my joints and continue to make them look a little cleaner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the hardest things for me to learn was that if I didn't point out my mistakes / issues that most will never notice and if they do it was probably another WW I have made mistakes on every piece I have ever built and for decades I thought it was my responsibility to show said mistakes to anyone who saw my work. A few years back I stopped doing that and you know how many times in those few years people have noticed and said something? Never LOL Bottom line that is your heirloom bench and don't let anybody tell you different, including the guy in the mirror. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
