Probably at least 50% of woodworking involves problem solving. I never used to spend a lot of time problem solving but, since retiring and enjoying the luxury of a bit more time in the shop, I find more creative ways to solve problems.
Many times the lack of a tool dictates the direction of our creativity. NewTim’s veneer press comes to mind. Often the need to accomplish a new or previously untried task requires thought and, sometimes lots of trial and error. Paul’s veneering and marquetry blogs are great examples.
My creative (and often crude) problem solving efforts are nowhere near the elegance of those I mentioned, as well as numerous other’s I’ve seen here on LJs. However, the process remains ever more enjoyable. So much so that my periods of cogitation and reflection often take more time than the actual woodworking.
How does everyone else feel about this aspect of our craft/hobby/diversion/job?
Anybody have an out of the box solution to share?
