History
I started woodworking with my grandpa in his garage - homemade jigs, hand tools, and a Shop Smith Mark V. He was my mentor and guide - the person who taught me to work with my hands, to dream big and to always be willing to try and learn. He made time to listen, taught me to be a good listener, and to value people. He was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed without complaint, and taught me to look for opportunities to help whoever and whenever it might be needed. To this day, his lessons continue to inspire me to pay attention to detail and build quality into every project. As a customer of WJS Woodworking, I will listen to your needs, pay attention to quality, and build your custom projects to your specifications.
