Be honest here

[Jon Grider]

How many spend more time on woodworking forums than working in the shop?

[Doug Garson]

Guilty as charged but in my defence it's +3C in my shop right now and +20C on my couch with a nice fireplace burning.

[Edward Weber]

Not in the shop lately, but dealing with wood outside.
So no, more working than typing.

[Stan Calow]

Some weeks, until I start an interesting project. Too much other life in the way. Going to work in the shop requires a minimum commitment of a few hours, and thats getting harder to come up with. Reading this and other non-w'working forums only takes a few minutes as part of my morning routine.

I sort of have to work in the shop, as it is my income source. My shop time is anywhere from 2 to 10 hours on a typical day, or occasionally more or less that that. So far this month I've made 7 banjos and a guitar, and I started on a fiddle today. Time spent on here probably averages about 10-15 minutes a day, at a guess, and I'm not on any other woodworking sites, though occasionally I visit them after a search to find out about a used machine I am looking at, or something like that.

I'm putting together a gara-shop.
Where I currently do 90% of actual woodworking (which mostly has been making shop furniture) is the JC WW class which I take 2 eves a week, 4 .5 hours each class day (Tues and Wed = 9 hrs).
So maybe a max of 20 hours a week... the othe 11 hours is spent making drawings or doing sanding and glue-ups, or small routing/drilling.
So yes, I probably spend more time on forums (not just this one) in a week than I do WW. Also I spend time on YT vids (mostly WW ones)

Ha-ha-ha. I probably hit the forum at least once a day. However, since retiring I hit the shop . . . a lot.

[Ronald Blue]

I try to spend at least a couple hours a day there. Sometimes I get more and sometimes I get nothing. I love love love my radiant floor heat though. Besides keeping it at a steady 60-62 with having the tractor out a lot lately clearing snow and going out a few hours later and almost all evidence is gone. No squeegeeing water out.

That was probably true when I had a full time job, now my shop time exceeds my computer time by a good 10:1.

That sums it up nicely.

I got into 3D printing a year or so back, which has sucked up a lot of my remaining creativity. (Not that I've had a lot of that lately anyway.)

[Lisa Starr]

It is probably a tie. I get about 3 hours in my shop most days before the fatigue wins and I'm destined for my recliner the balance of the day. I'm forever grateful to the team that put my cancer in remission 6 years ago, but the fatigue definitely has reduced my shop time.

[Jim Becker]

My answer is that I'm not in the shop enough at all. Much of the time it's "life in general", but currently, I've been recovering from wrist surgery that precludes any kind of lifting. So the time I've been out there has been spent on things like sharpening, organization and machine maintenance. Hopefully, I'll be out there more often the remainder of the year and that's what Professor Dr SWMBO wants, too, because she knows it helps to clear my head from everything that's on my plate. Examples, dealing with a mentally ill family member and being a good "seeing eye husband" and taking care of everything because of The Professor's health issues.

100% of time on computer
have ended up with some nice planes from James Spangler
Shop time has been non existent for too long,

[Mike Soaper]

does watching Red Green on you tube while in the shop count?

[George Yetka]

Its about equal. 30-45 min M-F on forum and 4-5 hours in shop on Sat
