Everyone asks - "How did you get into woodworking?"
Grandpa "Mac" McDonald lived in a trailer on my parents small farm. Mom was in and says; "DAD, what is he doing" (meaning me) and he replied, "just hammering some nails into a board - he said he wanted to do some woodworking"
She says - "yes but he just nailed it to your floor!"
Grandpa replies;
"That's alright he is learning, and next time he will figure out if you want to take the project with you - don't nail it to the floor!"
So I was (at 4 years old) now a "woodworker!"
Turning, hand tool restoration, just getting into trying hand tool "Flat work"
