I was looking for a new project so went out to the pile (as my patient wife refers to it) and brought some boards in, checked for nails, sanded the off with 60 grit, and ran them thru the planer. Some hickory, some oak, some ash and a couple of pieces of pink and yellow mystery wood. Nothing moved me. I have a box in mind, but the wood didn't fit. Same thing with a lamp I want to make.
So what inspires you? How do you decide on the next project? Do you take request from family and friends? Look thru all those magazines we never throw out? Do some serious googling? Or do you have a long list you're working your way thru? I gotta find something or I'll wind up making more jigs - and I'm running out of room.
