Shop time allocation...Jim Matthews
Why izzit that my shop time is never alloted in equal portions?
Sawing and resawing 20%.
Planing to dimension and glue up (for parts) 20%
Joinery and glue up 20%
Fixing the mistakes of my own creation 40%!

My next project during lockdown is side tables from Sycamore (or Pear I can't remember) It has an amazing figure and I'm using shop sawn veneer to add the figured element to an adjacent side of each leg.
This week I learned that I should buy small bottles of glue just before I need them.
One leg is about to take me as long to make as the other three.
