We bought a travel trailer in April and we've been camping 8 times and took a two week vacation to Boston and Maine this summer. Its been fun, but I haven't had any time for woodworking. I'm finally getting some shop time and I've started the chairs that go with the table I made for my daughter this spring. But now I find I've got to learn a few things over again like: Mill all the parts at the same time so they will be identical thickness. Always make a few spare blanks in case you accidentally cut something too short. Measure everything twice...then measure it again before you cut anything. I haven't hurt myself, but I'm filling a lot of bags with sawdust and my offcut bin is getting awfully full. :)
