Best laid plans and all that

Boarded Tool ChestThis years teaching schedule has been a little crazy at times despite my intention in 2017 to slow things down during 2018 so that I might spend a little more time making furniture. It’s what I trained for after all the day I left school and though I’m a wearer of many hats these days it’s still the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing on my mind at night, after my nearest and dearest have had their tea in bed of course or been dropped off at school. Next year’s diary is already starting to fill up with some new projects and new venues (more on this later) but there’s still time to book a place on one of the remaining classes of 2018. The schedule looks like this
