Yes, the joyous season CAN ring in woes to the shop. ALL those gifts to be done, so little time to do them...Wake up Bunky, your shop can benefit from all those whiz-bang, success guaranteed formulas, you just have to PLAN right. Don't walk into your shop, look around and feel overwhelmed, take control of those projects! Break them down into bite size bits and only work on the bits. The process of little bites leads to the whole apple eaten or in this case, the whole project finished. ANY project, large or small, needs planning, some just needs a bit more than others. The task becomes daunting when you have a LOT of things to accomplish and little time to do so. The decision to complete one project before moving on to the next OR have ALL projects going at the same time really depends on you. IF you are one of those incredibly efficient and organized types, YOU can manage all the projects in the works at the same time. YOU can do ALL the sawing for all projects, all the drilling, all the finishing, all the routing, and ultimately all the assembly and come out with ALL your projects completed in record time. US less complex, more closely related to the common snail types, are better off COMPLETING one project at a time. It doesn't really matter HOW you work in your shop as long as you DO work. Break your projects into manageable pieces and get those done. This can be based on the pinched 15 minutes away from the turkey, the half hour away from annoying Uncle Ned, or the hour away from the Mother-in-law. Whatever chunk of time you have to work with can be used effectively in your shop as long as you plan for it. This type of planning usually means NOT leaving the shop in disarray when you leave (groan). A clean shop is MUCH easier to work in when you aren't scrounging for the tool you need when you only have a few minutes to get something done. Plan your time allotment and fit the job to the time, it can be done BUT, you must be realistic. Don't plan for completing 120 dovetail joints in 15 minutes, it ain't gonna happen. The gist of this is simple, PLAN to succeed in your endeavers, and you will. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Get out there and make some chips!!!
