Our Work Force
Here they are—Meb’s Kitchenwares’ work force. Tom with the pencil, choosing the best possible grain. Meb carving the pig tail. Read further for the third hand.
We do have some occasional helpers, thank goodness!—mostly younger people who help out in between school or other “real” jobs, especially around the holidays. Since we're self-taught and together have totally made up our designs, methods and tooling, we've trained our helpers to do things OUR WAY.
Ethan has come in a few days a month for years—that’s his left hand on the cool sander (yes, he’s a leftie) and his hand is in the picture because, more than anyone else, he's a presence in our workshop.
Chelsea took most of the professional photos on this site and drew our fork and spoon logo at the top of each page. I met Mary, an occupational therapist when I had work-induced tendonitis. She made a house call, counseled us on work methods and even now occasionally comes over for “wood therapy”. Mary Jo is a dream come true—loving computers and office work—so I can spend more time in the workshop! Pat is the latest addition to our team—taking up my slack by oiling, sanding and tagging. I'm hoping that soon she'll learn to carve cheese knives!!
When Tom had his year of colon cancer surgery and treatments (2008-9) and I had my recovery (2007) from donating a kidney to a friend, these exceptional friends and others stepped in to help us through. Our grateful thanks!
