I think my wife and children have had a great Easter break, they've had lots of friends round, lots of time with some of their cousins, and other family, and a few days out (they all went to London on Thursday, but I stayed working at home).
I feel like I'm starting to catch up now, I've managed to get ahead with a few stock items, and start producing some more batches of my items. I'm trying to make sure I have plenty of gooseberry scoops in stock should they do well again this year, but the batch I started nearly broke me - you can see the number of pieces in the picture above.
Tomorrow I'm going to do a few other jobs that have been sneaking up on me, and then back in the workshop Monday hopefully.
You've been one busy craftsman! Sounds like the family had fun during their break. I hope you squeezed some fun in too!
ReplyDeleteThat is great, Kev! And those stacks say a lot of "production" to me.
ReplyDeleteI have always shied away from repeat builds in woodworking for the most part. The tedium quickly gets to me, especially when sanding.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your family had a wonderful Easter break, filled with plenty of quality time and fun outings. It's great to hear you're feeling more caught up now, especially with getting ahead on stock and working on your items. The gooseberry scoops must take quite a bit of time and effort to make, but it’s nice that you're preparing in advance for their popularity this year. Wishing you the best of luck as you tackle those other tasks and dive back into the workshop next week.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work, and best of luck with your business moving forward!
