Your Woodworking New Year Resolutions

[Rich Riddle]

What are your woodworking new year resolutions. Mine is to spend an appropriate amount of time to better use hand tools. Guess that means hanging out with the folks in the Neanderthal forum. Another is to complete my "fifties" workbench before turning 51.

Are some of your resolutions about spending more or less money in the hobby?

[Don Jarvie]

Stop making the same dumb mistakes that I should not be making.

[John Conklin]

Spend more time actually woodworking and less time in front of the television and computer.

[Larry Frank]

Work Safely and have fun making sawdust.

[James Baker SD]

along the lines of John above,
Spend more time actually woodworking and less time buying tools I don't use.

[David Nelson1]

Mine would have to be stay the heck outta the classified section. Actually it will be too work in a slightly cleaner shop and to build more shop cabinets.

[Chris Fournier]

This is my resolution as well! Of course it was my resolution last year when I was 6 pounds lighter which is an entirely different resolution!

[Larry Edgerton]

Win the lottery and do less woodworking.......

Like Larry, I need to do more fishing. I live 5 minutes from one of the best walleye lakes in the northeast and I haven't ben out in 4 yrs. As far as the shop goes, I'd like to build some new cabinets and tool storage. I try to be a stickler about everything being in its' place, but that only works if you have a place to put it.

Mmmmmmm... Walleye. Best fish ever!

My resolution is to learn as much about running my WW business as possible.

1) finished reorganizing my workshop (Just got it mostly there to start a major project)
2) get better dust collection - I have a JET air cleaner and a delta 1hp dust collector but 30 micron bags are all bad!
3) get a band saw and learn to resaw

Yep, next year I'm getting back into doing some fishing. Getting a fly rod for my birthday (day after tomorrow). I hope there is a forum out there that is as good to fly fishing as SMC is to woodworking.

[Rod Sheridan]

Hi Rich, my objective is to spend more time in the shop next year.

I spent a fair bit of time in Calgary this summer dealing with the aftermath of the flood, and it really affected my shop time.

On a personal note, where do you live in Virginia? I spend about a week every year working in Mount Jackson Virginia, beautiful area.............Regards, Rod

Mine is to get the big reno done in our home. I have been at it for 10 months now and have finally started the final phase which is the kitchen.....
