It's Watch week!

It's Watch week!

It's been a great year, and as we head into this last month, it's time to make some wristwatch clocks in the shop.

 This might be one of the most requested projects that we offer, and it's always a great gift to give. They're a little labor intensive to build, and really cool to personalize - who wouldn't want that challenge? 

If you didn't get into the Instant Gratification Woodworking class this session, you're really missing out!

 I've said it more than once - becoming a good woodworker is all about PRACTICE. It takes some practice to be able to be able perform simple woodworking operations, like drilling straight holes, or developing an eye to see where wood needs to be sanded. Scratches often don't appear until too late, like when you're applying the final finish!

 My best advice? Don't overwhelm yourself with huge projects right off the bat. Start small, grow your skills, become competent in resolving problems.  

Oh - and make some great pieces!
