What project should you be working on?
This tool will help you keep your workshop and projects moving!
If you’re like me, it’s a lot more fun to start a new project than it is to finish an existing one ー especially when finishing is the next step.
This helps you see what project is the closest to being done & out the door, then give you the motivation to get back to it!
It will also provide a timer when a project is in the Glue Curing or Finish Curing steps, as those are proper downtimes, which means it’s appropriate to move on to the earlier project.
However, also remember this is a hobby! Do what’s fun & follow your heart!

First, finish what you start!

You should probably work on the first project in the Ready to Work Group below.
If that item is ready to move to the next station, but that next station is already in use, the button will be greyed out.
That means you should move to the next project that is ready! Yes, that includes sanding... 😞

While a project is curing, you can watch the timer here. Once it’s done, it will move into the Ready area above, where you can then work to move it forward.
