re: Shop time.

At the end of each project, I ‘reset’ my shop… there’s a Forum thread that I started on this…

It is a necessary part of the process, unfortunately; though, I know several woodworkers who take as much pleasure in touching-up everything – the sharpening, vacuuming, replacing (everything in its place) – as they do building something. For me, the design time is often equal in duration as the build time; if I through in the tool & shop reset, this pretty much consumes all of my time within the shop.
I’ll add a 4th time consumer – tweeking my shop… moving this piece to that corner, running new electric or new dust collection, finding another place to store something that I bought. With my limited space, every square foot is important.
The best that I can recommend is to learn to enjoy, or tolerate, the process – it’s not going away.
