Currently, there is a lull before the next project will get started....might even call it a vacation.
Thinking I can make use of the "downtime" to:
Clean things up
Sharpen any edge tools that MIGHT need a bit of work
Check the hand planes, and see which need a tune-up
Maybe do a bit of rust hunting, for tools I don't have
Getting the saws sharpened up, cleaned up and organize a bit better..
Happens about every time there is a little bit of time between any projects. I can take the time to make sure all the tools will be tuned up, and ready for work, before the next project comes along. Could be a day, or a month...whenever.
Anyone else use their "downtime" like this? Maybe just call it a Maintenance Day or the shop's tools. I know most would rather be working on a project, but, sometime, they MIGHT want to consider such a day...or three? Just like taking the car in for a tune-up. Have to make sure they are ready to go..BEFORE they are needed...
