I think this topic – the creative process – is one of the most neglected in the woodworking literature. I appreciate the encouraging words and I will endeavor to make your reading, which I greatly appreciate, worthwhile for you.

I’m looking forward to this series. I found your blog through woodnet a month or so ago. Went back to the beginning and read them all.

This particually interests me as I find when I get to your Step #2, my refining process is flawed and it is very hard for me to end up with a concept that is pleasing to my eye. Thus, so far, I have yet to have very much luck with original designs.

Looking forward to this series….

–Mike

Haven’t heard from you for awhile, so I assumed you were busy cooking up something good!

I will watch with anticipation how you get the creative juices flowing.

BTW, those pencils have such a thin lead that I’m only using them until they run out. I have 3 more to go. Then I’ll break out my stash of Venus Velvet 2 2/3 (no longer made – I’m a fan of getting all they have before they stop making them). However, the vinyl erasers in those mechanicals are great.

–Steve.

I am fairly new to woodworking, although I have been doing carpentry and general home upgrades for quite some time, and I am at a point where I am planning on tackling some more advanced projects. I have gone thru what I consider starter projects and I’m gearing up for some larger, furniture oriented stuff. I’m kind of transitioning to/starting to blend hand tools with my power tools, and having a blast with them. I plan on starting off with a rolling tool chest, and will follow that up with a blanket chest. I have been looking at and evaluating several plans and kind of morphing them into something that will work for me. Since I’m working primarily on weekends and evenings I have given myself a lot of time for these two projects. I will be working on other smaller box oriented projects in between and also want to explore turning (possible pens and bowls), depending on how much I can spend on equipment and such.
So I’ll be right there going thru the stages with you.
Thanks and again I look forward to your updates.
Tony

I’ve come up with my own designs. I’ve completed projects. I’ve never gone from my own idea to completing that idea.

Consider me subscribed!
