There’s something magical about puttering in the shop. It’s not about deadlines, project plans, or getting that project finished before the weekend. Nope—puttering is woodworking without pressure, productivity without performance. It’s you, your shop, and a few quiet hours just hanging out. … Puttering isn’t wasted time. It keeps the place running smoothly, it keeps your tools sharp (literally), and it keeps you connected to the space where your ideas are born. It’s shop therapy.
