When I started working at Eagle America in 1994 (wow has it really been that long) I knew absolutely nothing about the woodworking tools or woodworking accessories sold and used at Eagle woodworking.
After about 3 months on the job it was suggested that I go to a basic woodworking class so I could see how some of the woodworking tools and woodworking accessories we sell are used.
It was an eye opening experience to say the least. When my turn came around to use the woodworking router I was scared to death. I remember asking the instructor if I could skip this part, of coarse my request was denied and I used a woodworking router for the first time. After all of my concern, it turned out to be really fun. After being involved in that first class, I found myself attending more classes.
The project for my first class was a hand held mirror, and if I do say so myself, it turned out better than I expected for my first time.
It is amazing that here we are 16 years later and I still have the mirror. This experience helped me understand the woodworking tools and woodworking accessories I help customers purchase. Today I can answer questions on the majority of tools we sell.
Time flies when you're having fun!
