‘Don’t Let ________ Get in the Way of Your Woodworking’ –
One of my favorite woodworking quotes from the late John Brown is: “By all means read what the experts have to say. Just don’t let it get in the way of your woodworking.”
This morning I was thinking about this quote, and it occurred to me that there are so many other things that can get in the way of woodworking and building useful things. So I created this MadLib in the title of this post and began filling it with things that weren’t the word “fart” or “poo-poo.”
Here are a few:
tool acquisition
frugality
lack of tools
lack of skills
lack of a shop
sharpening
tool minutiae
YouTube videos
books
magazines
blogs
me
anything
