OCtoolguy Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry A. Blakely Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'm usually a one-at-a-time scroller although my last two projects were worked on at the same time. OCtoolguy and wombatie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandaideman Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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.

LarryEA Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I have two saws... but I usually have more than four going at a time. Each probably in a different stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btree50 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I always have a few going. Sometimes I need a break from one, so I go to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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.

dgman Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 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 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I like to have about three different things going at one time. Maybe it a result of short attention span. Jim Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrylee Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 For me is one project at time.I have a small mind it has only has room for one project at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multifasited Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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.

courdorygirl Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 One at a time for cutting but I may have a couple with different types of finishing happening at once. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 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.
