My first, that I can recall, was probably when I was about 10-12 range. Mom had started collecting bells. I found a piece of firewood and carved a crude bell. Put a metal handle and glued in a thin rope and marble for the 'dinger'. She probably had about 50 or more bells, but I remember her telling me years after I made it that it was her favorite. Wish that I had it, but it is long gone now. I think that I sealed it with some type of clear glue. probably the same glue that I used for the 'dinger'.
I took WW shop class in high school. Remember making a couple of bread boxes and a coat rack from a 4x4. I recently found this in my storage shed that I also turned from a piece of firewood in that same WW shop class. I 'think' it was maple. This is the oldest thing that I have any 'proof' of making. I think it was from 1981-1982.
How about you?
