<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nMy dad grew up in Astoria, Oregon,<\/h3>\n
where his dad, a cabinet maker by trade, built boats<\/h3>\n
to launch on the huge Columbia River.<\/h3>\n
This love of making things with your hands was passed from father to son.<\/span><\/h3>\n
My dad’s shop – (the garage), was always a favorite place to hang out,<\/h3>\n
drawer after\u00a0drawer of curious hardware – springs, magnets, gizmos,<\/h3>\n
cabinets full of tools –\u00a0always a project going on.<\/h3>\n
In my mind, he’s completely inseparable from his\u00a0tools.<\/span><\/h3>\n
