    Question You guys spend too much time with "shop improvement"

    It is for amateur woodworkers only.

    Recently my wife made an interesting observation.

    It wasn't directly aimed to me (indirectly, perhaps): "You guys (amateur woodworkers) spend much more time making stuff for your shop than useful things (she means furniture and any home improvement stuff)"...

    Perhaps she is right as I have saw in the Internet muuuuch more of shop improvement projects from amateur woodworkers than actual furniture (or any other home improvement) projects. Lots of jigs. Lots of tool improvement. Lots of techniques to use our precious tools... but not so much "real" projects.

    How much time do you use for your shop comparing with "useful" output? I am curious...

    Personally I have an history around 80% ("useful") / 20% for the shop... but in the last couple of years, at most 50%/50%... perhaps 40%/60%...

    Thanks in advance for your input!
