Born in a small town in South Georgia at the ripe age of seventeen I could not wait to fly the coupe de ville. Thats what I left town in and I never went back. Ever. Not that I dont like small towns because I kind of do. It's just that paticular town had too many bad memories. Joined the Military at Eighteen, Moves to Hawaii and lived there for eight years. As a howlie I meet some of the kindest people, they welcomed me as If I was one of there own. Despite of what other people say about that place it's all in attitude. After my service duties I went back to college, got a BAS,Took a pay cut and sat behind a desk for fifteen years. "And depression sat in" Just kidding. In 2001 I was ran over by a cell phone or was It someone on a cell phone, but should have been driving instead. Broke me in half, and now I drive around with one of those blue stickers hanging from my rear view mirrow. I do get good parking though. Every Penny I ever owned went towards me being able to walk, talk, and singing away my blues. And then I found this thing called Woodworking or rather It found me. My doctor told me to find a Hobby so I could keep moving and to please never sit down. The results of doing so could possibly prevent me from ever getting up again. Some kind person, "and to this day I dont know who" sent me a box full of woodworking magazines. After coming home from rehab in 2006 It took two years to get disability benifits. Because they had to pay me two years of back pay it only took me two months to spend every last cent on woodworking tools. I do have some nice tools, I dont have a clue on how to use them but they sure look nice. So now I spend every minute of every day trying to learn this wonderful trade. Every day that goes by I learn more and more of how much I dont know. I dont know anyone in this trade Iv'e tried to reach out to people but as of today 10/31/2010 I still haven't met anyone who's willing to go the extra mile and help me.Iv'e been a member Of Fine Woodworking's web site now for two yrars. I use this site as a tutering manual as you will, but nothing can take the place of a human being sharing knoweldge. we have all heard people say these famous quotes. It's not my job, why should I spend my time showing him or her what to do, I dont get paid for teaching them how to do their JOB. The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. "James Taylor". I believe that it's what we do for other people that truely measures our level of success. Thank you for your time. Christopher Wade
