Does anyone else just doodle when they can't get interested in a specific project? Or am I the only weird one around here

I keep a stack of photos pasted up to be cut into puzzles and direct my doodling at them.

My "projects to do" stack is much larger than my "time to do projects" box, so I don't really have that problem. I like the cutting a lot more than the prepping or the finishing, so I try to keep several projects prepared to be cut out when I have the time.

I also like projects which I can cut freehand without attaching patterns, so I can just pick them up at any time: puzzles and puzzle boxes are both good for this.

I do all my doodle on paper. Cost less.

Only time I doodle is when I am showing someone the saw and how it works. I do have fun doing that, they are amazed at how tight of turns you can make. Of course, I AM showing off a bit. lol

You're definitelky NOT the only weird one, the rest of us just manifest it in different ways. LOL My doodling is on the computer with the Wacom tablet and I'm not brave enough to share most of that stuff. LOL

Pat, I'm a paper doodler. Never thought about doing it with the saw, until I saw your post. That looks like it was fun to do. What you did is a keeper! Would love to see you finish it as a piece of art.

And, no it isn't weird - just showing off your cutting skills. :-)

Showing off my cutting skills"

If this had been a pattern I'd never have been able to cut it. It is a good way to show someone who hasn't messed with a scroll saw the cuts that are possible. For me it's just doodling but I find if I haven't used the saw in a couple of weeks it makes for a good warm up before I have to stay on a pattern line. Pat
