Well, I have to think. Perhaps when with the help of my Grandfather &#8211; a master cabinet maker in a village in Bihar county &#8211; I sawed out and filed my first Winnetou Silver Rifle. When I tied the hemp string to the rifle and threw it over my shoulder &#8211; there was not a happier child in the world. The years went by and slowly I grew up and it seemed that my childhood dreams were disappeaing. Then, in the early 1990, i was given my &#8220;delightful message of redudancy&#8221; along with a modest sum due to cutbacks at my workplace. I was not disheartened. With a definite vision I set about making my dreams come true.<\/p>\n<p>The next day I was already knocking at the door of the school where they taught woodworking &#8211; to get my place. With my knowledge of mechanical engineering and my dear Father we made the simplest woodworking machines. We also set up my first small workshop that was perhaps 2&#215;2 m! It was as though my way had been signposted. Since 1994 I have been doing my work to the best of my ability and, I sincerely hope, giving delight to adults and children alike.<\/p>\n<p>I am L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Czegle traditional toy maker, woodworking artist and craftsman. My job is also my vocation. I inherited my love of my craft, encouraged by family, from my Grandfather, a respected cabinet maker in a small village. I moved to the tiny Zempl\u00e9n village of Erd\u0151b\u00e9nye &#8211; to the valley of coopers &#8211; from Debrecen in 1998. After a short period in the locksmith industry, in 1993-94 I decided to link my life to WOOD.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/famindenit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/czegle-laszlo-muhely.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-185\" alt=\"Czegle L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Erd\u0151b\u00e9nye  - m\u0171hely\" src=\"https:\/\/famindenit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/czegle-laszlo-muhely.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/famindenit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/czegle-laszlo-muhely.jpg 960w, https:\/\/famindenit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/czegle-laszlo-muhely-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/famindenit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/czegle-laszlo-muhely-624x350.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made my woodworking machines (bandsaw, sanding machine, lathe) myself (with the help of my Father).
