(time today working on actual bowls: 0 hours)
Do I detect a pattern here? Seems like quite a few days now since I started by noting 2 or 3 hours of work on an actual bowl. I'm on the "critical path" (in project management terms) for the bowl I'm working on. The improvements in viewing area, drilling tools, and drilling skill will make a difference in how it turns out. And they're good investments for the future.
What's missing is work on SOME bowl if not on this one in particular. In other words, when I'm really rolling - full momentum, full immersion - when I need to NOT work on one bowl because I need a tool, or skill practice, or whatever - I'll work on some other bowl or bowls. What I found earlier is that two is good - but two is what I'm working on now, so right now that's not quite enough. Three is very good. That would bail me out now. Four is about the maximum and maybe stretching it a bit. I've done it but it tends to drag out the whole process a lot and it's easier to get bogged down. So let's go for three.
OK. If I don't get in time tomorrow on this bowl with the super duper holes to be drilled - I'll start a new bowl.
