Ideas, Ideas,Ideas

Have you ever been stuck for ideas? Recently I wrote about "Woodworkers Block." I had it then but not now nooooooo sir. Can't stop the new ideas and concepts from flooding in.
  
Take yesterday for example, had a rough idea of what I wanted to do, achieve, complete whatever!
Started by finishing off the box I was working on the day before and had all the trouble with flattening the Wenge inlay. The I had a call from someone in Canberra wanting a Woodworking Apron. Not sure if I mentioned I also make Woodworking Aprons, Tool Rolls and Plane Slippers.
  
Well anyway went to one of my other sheds looking for a particular colour fabric, when there my eye happened upon a commission I'm in the throws on completing which reminded me that I had to do a Sample colour board for final approval prior to finishing and French Polishing the Job.
  
 So back to my main shed, found the aforementioned sample board. Went searching for the stain in doing so I had to move the internal workings of the Box I was originally working on. Stained the sample board. replaced it on the shelf returned to my bench where the internals from the other job were standing on their ends.

Geeeeez said I, that would make a fantastic Companion Urn. Husband and Wife or Na and Pop Job.

So out with the measuring stick dimensions and volumes calculated went in search of some 12mm Ply, in doing that I came across some nicely square dressed beech, That reminded me that I had to finish some file handles. So I took it over to the lathe, Which is right next to an old Woodfast fret saw I had just rebuilt, Which reminded me I still needed to fit 4 hold down bolts. Where are they????? Not to worry just nip over to the Nut and Bolt Shop. Off I set with a clear focus in mind. Called into Coles on the way to buy some lunch. Didn't fancy anything so went for a wonder around the shopping center and placed some adds for Urns and Woodworking Classes that I run. Looked at the time and remembered I had to Veneer some panels up. So Raced back to the workshop. Drove past a mates shed on the way to mine he made the coffee drinking gesture, So what's a man to do parked the Car grabbed a mug and went and had a coffee.

Didn't get the bolts, Didn't find the fabric, Didn't finish the Box, Didn't do any File Handles nor the veneering of panels.

But Did get some new Ideas and drank a fair amount of coffee.

Life's like that ain't it great that's how ideas come to you don't be to busy to miss 'em!

Cheers
