OK - my dad just got a new scanner and sent me this. Apparently, I started woodworking much earlier than I was aware of and apparently took it as seriously then as I do now. This was taken on Christmas day in either 1958 or 1959 when I was about 4 years old. Just what every woodworker worth his salt needs (a bathrobe, pistol strapped to the hip, and a cowboy hat to go with all those woodworking tools) . This was amusing and I just wanted to share with the group. This isn't OT since it is related to woodworking but, could easily go in the Neander group.

So - what are your earliest woodworking experiences? Pictures would be most helpful.
