Another year in the books

Before I started this year's yearbook entry, I read last year's post. I could almost cut and paste it here!!

Biggest change from last year is I am now fully retired! Took about an hour to get used to that

My shop time continues to go up, and my project posting are double of last year! (2 instead of 1)

Still - I didn't get the posting done until the last 2 days of my year. I posted the Art Deco Frames and the Church Railing .

Like last year, I continue to check in every day on LumberJocks. I still find great ideas for projects and techniques.

I'm looking forward to another year - and like last year I hope to post a few more projects (without waiting until the last minute).

I do a pretty good job of getting a few in process pictures but the projects are out the door before I get a final shot.

Here's to another year (clink)!

After my brother retired he said: "I have never had that busy before"

I do a pretty good job of getting a few in process pictures but the projects are out the door before I get a final shot. Please share your projects in the next year also with some progress pictures.

This year shot by.
I, like Paul, have changed my focus.
It seems I don't post as much as I used to, but the projects still keep getting made.

Process pictures make a regularly length-ed project extra long.
I give credit to these on-line content producers.
I couldn't do that.

Here is to another year.

My yearbook entries are done on Halloween - some years it is between handing out candy and other years are like this year… no visitors

I managed to get 3 projects posted this year. They all had a common theme - gifts for the grandkids. They were a box of rattles , a bug house , and a set of cars .

I'm already working on this year's Christmas gifts. I also am working on a finale for the set of cars - still in the design stage.

3 project postings is better than last year's 2 posting. The year before was one. That implies I'll get 4 projects posted by this time next year - we'll see.

I continue to check in every day and enjoy seeing everyone's work.

Now on to year 10!

Sometimes life gets in the way of woodworking. I completely understand but one project or ten, yours are always interesting and worth the look.
Bon anniversaire!

Thanks Paul! I've got lots of stuff going on in the shop - so much that I forget to make time to create the project posts!

Glad to meet you on Lumberjocks and hope to see your ongoing projects!
There should be some kind of law that prohibits interference with shop time!

That's the great thing about LJ's-- even if we're not cranking out projects every week, there's always inspiration and someone's projects to follow.
Here's to a great November!

Thanks for the comments! I appreciate them.

htl - the kitchen gadget was a gift for my niece. After we gave it to her she moved and has been in England for several years and we are finally going to ship it to her.

Great projects Steve and great to see that you are continuing are staying with LJ through the years. I've always enjoyed your comments, posts and excellent work and I look forward to seeing more in the future. It is always great to share the pleasure fellow woodworkers get from their projects.

And I'm still here!

I'm a few days late getting this year's entry done. Out to dinner with friends and a busy weekend are my excuses

It's been another busy year in the shop. I've been getting lots done, but not much has made it to LJ's.

I did manage to share my birdhouse project and my toy car hauler for this year. The car hauler project was one mentioned in the previous year book post as being in the design phase.

I did get more done. I have finished 26 projects so far this year - but not all of them are woodworking. Some are repairs for the house/yard or travel trailer. I also bought and restored a 34 year old bicycle (a duplicate of one I bought in 1985 and let go).

I intend to do a better job of sharing my projects. I shared on a forum thread started by LJ pottz that I keep track of past and future projects on a spreadsheet list. Just this morning I identified 25 projects that I have intentions of sharing on LJs. Let's see how many of them I can get posted in year 11.

I still take a few minutes every day to see what is going on in LJ land. It is a pleasure to see what everyone is doing.
