Hello from Napa Valley CA

[Steve E W]

Hi Steve here,

Guess I started woodworking early on, Dad always had a table saw, and it was another time.....when I was about 10, he would tell me to squint my eyes to keep the saw dust out and to keep my head slightly to the side, out of the line of fire from the blade! But, still got all my fingers (knock on wood).

now ive been at it about 45years (hard to think about that!)

I'm a machinist by trade, work at a large utility in the bay area.

but my avocation has always been woodworking.

current projects include kitchen Cabinets, about 2/3 done.

new stair railings and balusters, about1/4 done.

I like Mission, Craftsman, Greene and Greene.

I'll see ya all around these pages.

Steve

 

Pic is my brother in his shop

we had the honor to build our fathers coffin

My brother has a mobil dimension saw mill and fell and milled the sugar pine for dads simple pine box.

we built it together, Hard to lose Dad, but a more worthwhile project for family I cannot think of.

Thanks for the Training Dad.

Hey Steve. Welcome to the forum. Next time I'm in Napa for a tasting I've got a couple of guys I need to look up and meet personally. I know you'll like it here. Looking forward to seeing some of your work.
