Thanks johnny,
Trades school was in Yorkshire. While Dad was there he met his first wife. Big Grin I can just remember a trip there to Giggleswick in a Reliant three wheeler (Regal?) But that is another story Big Grin

My dad was definitely a big influence on me.  I grew up in a 200+ year old house and dad was always remodeling some part of the house.  He had a table saw and a few other power tools.   When I was about 10 I got my first router and made plaques for the neighbors decoupage class.  When I was in my early twenties I got a Shopsmith with many of the optional tools.  I did quite a bit of scrollsaw work for a couple people that did craft shows.  After that it has been mostly person projects around the house and few for friends.
