What do you do

[TAIrving]

When you just finished what you were working on, it is too late to start on another project and too early to stop for the day.

Start another project. It's never too late.

Clean up the saw wax the table and oil the oiling points on it or other equipment. I like to do saw maintenance at the ending of a day so the oil has time to trickle down into the bearings etc. That of course depends on the saw too.. as some don't really have anyplace to oil etc.  Sometimes I'll start prepping the next project like sorting / selecting the board and pre-sand it etc. In my shop there is always something to do or needs to be done so I don't have too much problems with "what to do" more like what's most important to do now and what can wait a day or two, LOL

If my wife read this, she you say, "Clean up the shop!"

Never ran into that problem. Always something to do in the shop. I am not one for maintenance so that is out. Never touched my scrollsaw for maintenance in my life time. I have run those saws plenty of hours over the years. If you call vac the dust up then yes that is what I do. I do have alot of home projects still going on. Come this winter I will get back into making pens. Love that. Scrollsaw days are just about nonexistent any more.

Very nice as well as using the cut off pieces that are to good to throw away

Good way to spend the time.  Now clean up the shop.

I usually clean before I begin for the day. I will look for the next shiny project when I finish.
