I'm with @Leadeye
I buy parts on sale, and when I have enough to assemble I put one together.
That’s the difference in most firearm projects and other projects for me. The gun projects are just saving money to buy bolt on parts and I guess I don’t really consider that a project unless it’s more in-depth. I have a few firearms I want to have the barrels threaded on and one I want Cerakoted, but to me that’s also just hiring someone else to do work. I guess those are projects, but in my head it’s really just things to throw money at, where actual projects are things I’ve come up with to build from scratch.
It's important to utilize 5S if you have many projects. No use in not being able to progress due to not being organized.In my version of TPS, if you're married, all unfinished projects are reclassified from "WIP" to "safety stock" or "critical spares."
In theory, this keeps the Purchasing Manager from putting a hold on new procurement.
We won't tell. Promise.Wait.....you guys are able to keep track of all your projects?
If anyone tells my wife that there is such a thing as "to many projects" I am going to be pizzed.
Oh I'm sure I have to many. It's like a constant rotation depending on availability of stuff or weather or both or motivation.We won't tell. Promise.
But I do believe that one can have too many projects. If a person has started so many that they get in the way of one another and there is zero forward progress on any of them because you just don't know where to start or you are overwhelmed or not enough time in a day/week/month/year, then I would suggest jettisoning some of them and pare down to a number that is workable.
Yes and no. That's a whole genre of projects. First you have to figure out what you want to print leading to which printer to get. While you're figuring it out, you buy another for what it can't do. Then another because it was cheap. in the course of figuring out how to use them you find all sorts of other things to print. Then you realize you need a resin printer too and it repeats. Eventually you come back to the project you originally bought it for and realize it would be better handled by a lathe... Meanwhile you have another workroom full of printing stuff and a house full of trinkets and decorations.Someday I really need to check out 3D printing for those unobtainium parts. I bought two Cooper revolvers and had enough parts between the two to get one shooting. The other is missing a lot but I would like to reproduce the missing parts.
Talking gun projects are we? Let’s be honest here. Who has time for gun projects when we all receive “Honey Do” lists for projects that never end from our most significant other! LOL!
We must be related.73. Unless one is a remodel that involves plumbing or any sort of car restoration from a state that sees winters. Then -3 and have a suicide prevention hotline on speed dial and/or copious amounts of coping fluids to imbibe.

It's not in that order.
