Just a simple question

[OCtoolguy]

I'm curious about something. How many of you folks finish one project before starting another. This goes along with my question about keeping track of slightly used blades.

me i only do one project at a time ,(a) am slow (b) i am old © am bloody lazy lol

[Larry A. Blakely]

I'm usually a one-at-a-time scroller although my last two projects were worked on at the same time.

[ike]

I useally finish one project at a time if I don't I may never finish the first one.

If it's names im doing il;l do them all , detail them all,sand them all and then glue them all.and make stand for them all.Intarsia's i can get quite complicated as i'l have many in the mix going at the same time. layed out on tv trays .That way i can stack them and work on what interests me more to finish.Fretwork i'll start and finish .Works for me!

I consider myself a hyperactive scroller. I will have 3-5 projects at any one time either scrolling or truning or something and will have requests that I will do and finisht with a dead line. I seem to work on something and if I get struck or in trouble then I can do something else to get my mind off the trouble then return and it works out better. It may  be crazy but it works for me.

I have two saws... but I usually have more than four going at a time.

Each probably in a different stage.

[Dan]

One at a time form me.

I have a lot in common with ducky.

[btree50]

I always have a few going. Sometimes I need a break from one, so I go to another.

[Multifasited]

Well Ray what's your strategy ?

[OCtoolguy]

Thanks everybody, that's pretty much me too. I can't wrap my head around too many things at once. But, right now, I'm getting back into my woodcarving so I am going to go out to the shop and rough out a carving of a caricature buzzard that I have been wanting to try to carve. I cut the basic block on my band saw and I'll cut the outline on the scrollsaw. It should work out great. Now, I can scroll saw outside in my shop and carve inside in my office.

As a general rule I'll do one project at a time, but I may not apply the finish until I have several projects. Then I'll finish four or five at a time.

If I have a special order or request then I may have two project going at one time.

[GrampaJim]

I like to have about three different things going at one time.  Maybe it a result of short attention span.

For me is one project at time.I have a small mind it has only has room for one project at a time.

I am a little ADHD - Just looked around my shop and I have a cheese board being finished, an intarsia piece being shaped, an intarsia piece  half cut out, a wig stand 1/2 turned, and a end grain cutting board being clamped up.  Some of those have been there for a little while.

 

Since I am retired I am in not hurry and my only deadline is when ever I feel like finishing it.

 

YOLO.

[DWSUDEKUM]

Ray I generally have many different projects going on at any one time so I seldom do one to completion before starting a new one.

All depends on the interest level of the project ,and how well it's going ,along with the interuptsions encountered ,normally I try to at least get the cutting all done ,shaping and finishing may wait ,If something else catches my fancy !

[courdorygirl]

Like most of you, one at a time for me.  I do the stuff that is commissioned first, then work on products for craft shows/conventions, and devote one day (usually Friday, but I'm home sick with a terrible cough today), to doing gifts and personal items.

[OCtoolguy]

Ok, here is what I am working on today. I have been carving on it for a couple of hours. My hand feels like I haven't held a knife in a while. But, it's coming along. I'm not sure why my pics always seem to come out on the side but you get the idea.

Are you taking your pictures with a smart phone?  If I turn my phone sideways, when I upload the pictures to the computer they are sideways like that.  I have to open them in photoshop, rotate them, then resave them.

[WayneMahler]

I just finished up 4 tonight. SO that brings active projects down to about 4 left to complete. I will start and finish a project if itis a custom order and rather large. But my normal is between 5 and 9 running at a time.

[wombatie]

One at a time for cutting but I may have a couple with different types of finishing happening at once.

Cordorygirl, I took the pics with my Nikon but I was holding it sideways. I guess that would explain it. I'll have to start doing it your way. I was in a hurry. Sorry for making everybody twist their heads around. Better next time.

I like to concentrate on one at a time  ,would love to see the finished Buzzard Ray.
