How do you know when you should take a project on yourself, or when you should raise the white flag and just purchase the item from a store? Judging from the many emails I receive asking this exact question, I know I’m not alone. I decided this would be a great topic to explore for my Popular Woodworking Wood Whisperer column. Taking some influence from Nicole’s Glamour magazine, I constructed a quiz for us woodworkers. Answer the questions honestly, and you should end up with a reasonablly objective result. Popular Woodworking was cool enough to distribute the quiz as a PDF worksheet which you can download now. For the entire article, you’ll have to either subscribe or pick up the latest issue on the newsstand.
