Finding motivation. by Dale Porter
It's interesting how the mind works and thoughts appear randomly. I've had a major upheaval in my life at the start of this year, and ever since I have lacked any desire to get back on the workbench. I have a couple of clients that would like me to do some work for them, and there's a shop near...
