"Restoring old buildings, it takes me back to my apprenticeship days of working in England on 500 year old buildings. The smell when I open an old roof, pine or oak, it brings old memories back."

Steve is the Shop Manager. It is up to him to keep everything running smoothly. From machinery setup to sourcing the best materials, he ensures all the custom milling is accurate and produced on time.

Steve is a talented craftsman in his own right, with years of experience as a furniture maker. He has created furniture designs, and custom cabinetry, many of which require the creation of repeatable patterns for commercial use.

His ingenuity is now being put to good use at Al's Custom Millwork, where custom patterns are routinely created, and innovative ideas on restoring elements of historic buildings are brought to fruition.

"I'm a happy guy when I'm covered in sawdust and working with the wood. The projects here are very rewarding. The machinery setup requires significant skill, and that challenge is extemely enjoyable."
