Great tips! I also find planning up front with a design, tool list, and bill of materials really helps speed my projects along…and minimizes my trips to the hardware store :-)

Thanks, Cliff. Yes! I rarely have a build that doesn't require multiple hardware store trips. Need to do this better!

Advice from two of my former college art professors: quantity brings quality, and lock yourself in your studio. I couldn't agree more and still struggle with the latter!

These times of replacement of tools and cleaning the bench and floor also are valuable moments to think about the project. Really because you stop there was a stump in the way of progress After thinking about it it was clear how to move on . It also helps to have a clean work space.
