How many hours in your shop each time?

[Kevin Gregoire]

im just curious to know how many hours everyone spends
in their woodshop each day???

[Joe Shinall]

Usually 1-3 for me unless it's a day where I am working from home. I'm a Network Engineer and about 2 days a week on a good week I get to work from home. I put my laptop inside a cabinet drawer and hook it up to a set of speakers so I can hear if I get an email and I will be in the shop for about 6-10 hours if I can. With breaks of course to refresh with a nice big glass of Dr. Pepper, the other coffee!

I selected 2 hours. I spend 1-2 hours each day after work (although I skip some days, like today for example) and about 10 split between Saturday and Sunday. I had a "forced" week off while LOML did not . . . I almost slept out there ;-)

[Jason Hanko]

I voted three, but that comes with caveat of "three on the days I make it into the shop".
Ive got a 3 year old and a 1 year old - so making it out every day is almost impossible. I probably average 8 hours a week.

[Andrew Minear]

I don't go to the shop everyday because it takes an hour to heat up with an electric heater. Usually I wait until I have 3-4 hours of work planned out, or, if I just want to clean up for an hour I skip the heat part and bundle up.

I voted for 3, but that is not honest. When I CAN spend time in the shop, more than a few minutes, it is 3 hours or so. But typically, I can go in, piddle around for less than a half hour, and get back to other stuff around the house...

[Dave Gaul]

I said 4 based on a weekly average. Weekdays I might only get an hour or two, weekends can be 8+ per day, especially if I'm trying to get something done by a deadline!

[Augusto Orosco]

I chose 3 hours each time, but that's about twice a week at night; after putting my little daughter to bed. The rest of the nights are enjoyable quiet time with my wife and weekends are family time!

Three hours twice a week forces me to plan ahead, so I can make the most out of that time and get right to work as soon as get into the shop.

[Don Jarvie]

Lately it's a few hours once or twice after work and I will get anywhere from 5 on Saturday and a few on Sunday.

It mostly depends on what the Boss has on the agenda.

[Robert Parrish]

It depends on how I feel. If things are going well and I'm making progress on my project I will stay all day. But if I'm having a bad day (making mistakes) I quit and go do something else. But usually I spend 3 hours a day in the shop.

[Michael MacDonald]

I surprised myself by putting in 3... I usually get in there around 8:30, after putting the kids to bed... and lately I have been working to 11:30 or so. Sometimes even midnight or later, but that is rare. I have to down a few cokes to keep me going. Somehow it seems like less than 3, but that is how the math works out.

I also spend a few Saturday and Sunday afternoons while the kids nap, but that is also only about 3 hours... wish it could be more, but my wife has been complaining about Friday and Sat nights.

[Leigh Betsch]

At least 2 every day after work, and at least 16 on the weekends, except during phesant hunting season then it's only 4 or 5 each weekend. I still don't get anything done! Think I'll take Friday off....

Leigh, that's hilarious..........Rod.

i go out around noon and start my heaters, come back in and mess around on the net or take a nap (serious insomniac so i sleep whenever i can) and go back out in an hour or
two and work for anywhere from 2 - 4 hours. weekends i go out a little earlier and stay till late afternoon.

i havent been out as much the past two weeks as i have been watching Winter Olympics but now that it is about over i will get back on schedule.

[Todd Franks]

People actually work in the workshop on weekday nights? I didn't even know that was an option. I probably average 5 hours on a Saturday OR Sunday at best. Young kids severely affect shop time. Wouldn't trade it for anything 'though.
