We recently got the opportunity to do a little community outreach: building and installing redwood planter boxes at the lovely Augustus F. Hawkins High School in South LA. Nick, Matty, and Lee trekked down the 110 with a truckload of redwood and tools, and soon we had a whole crew of eager high schoolers under our command.

OWS recently had the opportunity to give back to the community by participating in PS Arts’ 25th anniversary benefit. Lee and Matty, along with friends from Angel City Lumber, ventured down to Hollywood for an epic soiree with a good cause.
We recently teamed up with the brawn and brains of Angel City Lumber for our quadrennial slabbing session. ACL run a sustainable lumber operation that collaborates with municipalities and private landowners to keep fallen trees from the landfill or the wood chipper and instead transform them into beautiful lumber and slabs.
Nick shares some reflections with This Old House host Kevin O’Connor about how and where his love of woodworking first began.
Last summer, two woodworkers and long time friends—Lee, shop manager at OWS, and J Sassaman, shop manager at AutoDesk’s Pier 9 workshop in San Francisco, shaved their heads and hit the southern Sierra for a 200 mile trek along the John Muir Trail.
That’s right folks. Read the official word from Nick on his new literary gem Good Clean Fun.
