    Spend time with the family as the kids will only be kids for a short while longer.

    Spend time in the shop wisely and improve my skills as much as possible during each project.

    And do like Glenn Clabo stated: Enjoy and be thankful for everyday...just in case it's the last one I get.
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    I'm not normally a sentimental type, but my only resolution is to spoil my 2 girls (2 1/2 year old Valerie and #2 due in April) completely rotten. My shop time has became practically nonexistant since Valerie's arrival, but ya know.....I don't really mind that much.

    I know that eventually I'll get to make some more dust.

    Happy Holidays,


    Ron

    1. Get the back well enough to get back in the shop at all.

    2. Finish the drill press table (currently in a half-assembled state), build a lumber rack.

    3. Get started on the set of bunk beds that I owe my 9 year-old step son.

    4. Last but not least, continue getting my woodworking jollies by visiting here often!

    Talking shop? sshlop? I wish I had a shop!

    I guess we all need our little resolutions for the shop...

    that is,... if you have a shop..

    I am not blessed with the types of shops I have seen here and so my resolutions are the following:

    1. work on building some of the projects I have been thinking about.. they are only ideas until made real..


    2. organize my tools.. I don't have many so that should be easy. hey dad, I think you have some of my tools,.. i know you use my architecture T square in your shop...

    3. make a little more time so I can help my dad... dad, you need my help.. I noticed your workmanship isn't the same when I'm not around... maybe that could be just because you have waited so long to finish and you are impatient


    that's it for my shopless resolutions.. I guess I can add one more.

    4. help keep dad's shop clean! I know what this means to you dad's out there...

    till next year...

    hopefully I will have a shop of my own by then

    I resolve not to give advice unless it is asked for, and if I have nothing nice to say to just Shut UP!
