| Welcome
to 'Ol Dave's Woodshop! We sincerely hope your time here won't be
wasted. My name is Dave Haynes and I have long been interested in
woodworking since peeking up over the sawhorses at my dad many, many years
ago. Dad was a finish carpenter by trade and also built a lot of
furniture. I guess that is where I first caught the urge to work
with wood. Sad to say however, my dad passed away at an earlier than
expected age and my interest in what he was doing was only somewhat inbred
in me from those earlier experiences. The urges, you might say, didn't
come to fruition for me until my own kids were grown up and gone so that
I could afford the right tools to take up the hobby on my own. Some
of you might know what I'm talking about!
Good
thing is.....I DID finally start!
Having
been quite successful as a plastic extrusion tool design engineering director,
and as having had some experience as the designer of Fastrac
(an antique tractor hobbyist web site), I felt the urge to develop another
web site to relieve my itch for woodworking. This site will help
me fill up my time when I am not in the shop. I don't ever
intend to let 'Ol Dave's Woodshop become a place for junk to accumulate
nor to evolve into a web site where professional jargon about woodworking
becomes unbearable. The intention is to have fun with it and at the
same, maybe get lucky enough to actually help some other woodworkers get
to ideas or information that they may not have otherwise gotten the opportunity
to obtain.
Feel
free to move around the site or take a tour of my shop and if you choose
to do that, just know that most of the photos that you will see will have
larger images of them for greater detail when you click on the smaller
images. So have fun and if there is ever anything we can help you
with, please let us know.
Dave
