Have you ever taken a week off work and had all kinds of plans to get things done. That was my goal last week. I wanted to build a few nice projects for the blog. I wanted to complete several more videos for the Scroll Saw School section. I wanted to clean my shop. I got zero done. You know What? That's exactly what I needed. Sometimes you just have to walk away from a hobby for a while.
Luckily I went to the Woodland Art Festival in Lexington this weekend and that always gets me excited again. A local scroll saw artist by the name of Mick Shambro was there. He does some really fine work. He also presents his work beautifully. He has a few nice patterns for sale on his website.
Another woodworking friend of mine was there with his wooden gear clocks. Keith Chambers designs and builds the most beautiful clocks I have seen. He was actually my inspiration to build out my shop and start the blog. He is one of the most dedicated craftsman I know.
There were many other fine artist there and the show was a lot of fun to attend. I always come away from these shows wanting to get back in my shop. Hopefully I can carry that motivation over to next week and actually get something done. :)
