My “to do” list
One of the main reasons for my starting the journey out of my comfort zone making round things into “flat world” is that having got married and set up home we need a number of items of furniture and the only way we can afford decent stuff is for me to make it.
Thus I have a rather large to do list which i will post here to motivate myself to work through it.
Workshop stuff
- Assemble new lathe (done, hooray)
- Hang up air filter (ditto – yay me)
- Build tool storage cabinets and boards
- Rebuild workbench
- Sort out dust extraction
Flat World
- Gates & Fence – to stop the dog getting out (again)
- Bedside Cabinet – a “commision” from my mummy
- Bedside table – for myself to stop the dog sticking her nose in my morning cup of tea
- Xmas Sleigh
- Under bed storage – to stop the dog chewing MBGitW’s shoes
- Table top- for Mother in laws sewing table to be done before xmas
- Childrens mobiles
- Possibly wardrobe – still debating whether to make it myself or commision a UKW freind
- Sewing table – to store MBGitW’s sewing machine and ancillary stuff and provide a surface on which to use it
- Games table – an end table incorporating numerous board games , long designed by MBGitW and myself but not a priority
- pendulum clocks for craft fairs – scrollsaw work.
- there was also some talk about a swing seat for the MiL but I need to check with the FiL before i do anything on that.
Round World
- Skeleton clocks
- Fruit Bowl – long requested by MBGitW
- Xmas Baubles
- Things for craft fairs including light pulls, doorstops, keyrings, bowls, clocks, scoops, coasters and mushrooms
oh my where to start ??? Well I intend to follow the advice of Mary Poppins on this one and “start at the beggining, a very good place to start , and continue until I reach the end then stop” but then you know what they say about good intentions – it is far more likely in fact that i will start about three things at once and muddle along till they are all done with much profanity and flying wood along the way.
It is also virtually inevitable that the to do list will grow as i go along and thus i’ll never actually reach the end , and also that i’ll wind up snared in diversion that never made it on to the list because they looked like a good idea at the time.
