166271 "Clint & Tracy Warren" <clintwarren@c...> 2007‑01‑04 Bio
Hello, My name is Clint Warren.
I've been lurking a few weeks now enjoying the posts.  A lot of talented
people.  I don't know that I necessarily belong in such company as I tend
toward a Normite, but just love old tools. I promise to stay out of the way
near the edge of the porch.

I'm 43 and live with in Boise (wife, one 14yo son). I work from home for a
company that builds dry kilns and energy systems for the wood products
industry.  I write software and do tech support for the kilns.  While I
don't have a kiln at home my job at least nominally goes with my hobby.

I've been working with wood for 20 years or so and find it great relaxation.
It gives me the satisfaction of producing something that the software just
can't. I was inspired by my Dad, who was a jack of all trades and could
always seem to figure a way to do the task at hand. I aspire to be as clever
and capable as he was.  I try to get in some furniture projects in between
home remodeling, which seems to be a never ending process.  I haven't gotten
much time in the shop lately to use any tools (tailed or otherwise), but
have slowly been procuring a few planes and other galoot tools.  My wife is
very tolerant of my tool obsession and even acts interested when I show her
a new addition.  It is my intention to put these acquistions to good use
when I have knocked the home projects out (new kitchen addition being the
biggest).

Until then I am delighted to sit back and learn from this group.  You've
already got me thinking about trying my hand at making some tools.

galoot-wannabee,
clint
