    Default How long do you work in the shed per day?

    G'day,

    I thought that it's time for a new poll. So...
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Do you want to include the hiding out in the shed time in that too?

    Bloody shame it can't be more- would love to spend a few hours a day. Don't have time to get really good at anything.

    I get out there on a Sunday around 11am and 5 minutes later it's 5PM and time for dinner. No wonder i don't get anything done.

    Einstein said travelling in space, close to the speed of light, alters time - he should have simply gone out to the garage and cut up some timber, that alters time too
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Which (or who's) shed?

    Is there a fridge in the shed?

    Is this a trick question?

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Its not an easy question . The last 5 days I've been in the shed for 10 hours a day . Enjoying every minute even when I exposed my biscuit joints on the new cradle but thats another story . Yet with no motivation I can go days without spending over an hour . I am lucky . I designed and built my own house so to get to the workshop ( 100 square meters ) is only a matter of opening a door from the kitchen to get to the workshop fully equipted with T.V. and beer fridge .

    if einstein had been into cutting up timber he would never had the time to sit down and think about the theory of relativity, and we would probably have all been happier

    When I work it's on-site, often installing the items I made while playing with the toys in my shed. 'Tis a good life...

    As a rough guess I'd estimate I spend equal time in both situations... but a lot more of my shed time is spent looking for "that thing I had 5 mins ago." I really should spend a week or three cleaning it up...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Time passes to fast in the shed. Maybe it's because I am new to this game and I am still feeling my way around, but at least I am having fun!

    If I had a shed, I'd be in it nearly every day, even if it was just to sit, have a coffee and enjoy my shed - ouch! OK I'm dreaming again....

    cheers

    If you go down to the bottom of the page to "Forum Jump" and select the forum you want to post a thread in. When that forum comes up with the list of all the threads in it, up in the top left hand corner there is a button to click on "Post New Thread"

    You must put a subject in otherwise it will spit you out until you put one in.

    During the week, 2-3 hours per night.

    During the weekend 10 or more hours per day.
