What’s on Your List?
About this time each year, I like to get an idea of what our readers have on their agenda in terms of woodworking projects. If you are like me, this is when you start thinking compulsively about gifts you might be making (or gifts from last year that you might be completing), or even those late-season, workshop-based home improvement projects that need a final polish.
For me, coming up with ideas is almost never a problem. With that said, coming up with good project ideas has, from time to time, been a challenge.
So, let me know. Tell me what you are building and it’s likely that I’ll share it with the rest of the eZine faithful. (And if it’s a really clever idea, my family will thank you.)
