Title: Need Time
Post by: zgrimsley on December 27, 2011, 11:02:37 pm

I have so many ideas in my head and on paper that I want to make but not enough hours in the day! It is hard to work and be in high school at the same time

Just make sure you get your homework done  ;) sorry I'm a teacher and it just slipped out  ;D

It helps to get your ideas on paper, you may not have time now but maybe you will in the future.

Weekends are made for cutting, keeps you off the streets and out of trouble, then you have summer vacation. Like katie says you will probably be able to cut them in the future. That will give you something to look forward too!
Go for it!

I'll second that Marge, and I'm not even allowed to work either, but there is never enough time to do everything. MRSN made a valid point too, Homework is very important, think of the long term future, no homework done means poor grades (I believe thats what you call them over there) poor grades means poor job or even no job, and no job means no money to buy bits for your scrollsaw hobby. On the bright side if you make notes and drawings of your ideas, then you won't forget them and when time is available then you can put your ideas into practice. Sorry if I went on a little, but I am a firm beleiver that education is one of the most important things for youngsters, it gives them the best chance of a good start in life. As for your scrollsawing, when your homework is done, sit at your saw and relax while making sawdust, but please post pictures of the finished items as I think we all would like to see them.

One project at a time, Kiddo.  We all have long cut lists.  I pick whatever suits me at the time.  Then I get a new magazine and the list grows longer!  Mrs N is right, though.  Homework first.

Write them ideas down!

Otherwise you'll forget about some of them over time.

When ever I think about something like this (too much to do) I tell people "It's just like eating an elephant, you must do it one bite at a time."   ;D
