Mission:

My goal is to provide custom storage solutions to new and existing homes, with as little inconvenience to the homeowner as possible.

I am Steve Freer.  I am a carpenter and I have always loved working with wood.  I have worked for several home builders and many homeowners.  I started my career as a professional woodworker in 1997 when I moved to Santa Monica, CA.  I met an experienced cabinet maker through a mutual friend.   He offered me a chance to work along side him in a house on Benedict Canyon in Beverly Hills.   We milled and shaped most of the rough lumber ourselves.  During this time, we focused on mahogany cabinets in both the master bathroom & the walk-in closet.  Then we moved on to a coffered ceiling in the master bedroom.    I worked with him for approximately  2 1/2 years, then I moved to Murfreesboro, TN.

In Tennessee I got a job with a father and sons interior trim crew.  We worked mainly on production type homes.  In these houses speed was very important.  On occassion we would take on a custom home and even did a showcase home that became part of a local television program.

From Tennessee I moved to Mesa, AZ.  I worked for a short time in a large cabinet shop that produced a wide variety of products.  The work included peices for Hollywood sets as well as display cases for large commercial stores.  After leaving there I took an eight month break from woodworking to help in the restoration of historic automobiles .

I put the tool belt on again when I moved back to Ohio, around the time of 9/11/01.  In Columbus, Ohio I became part of a crew dedicated to trim work in custom homes.  We worked almost exclusively for the same builder -  the largest custom home builder in Columbus at the time.  This is were I gained most of my experience with designing and building custom cabinets.  I was fortunate enough to build many dens and home offices in the time I worked with this crew.

Then it finally came time for me to realize my ultimate goal - to employ myself with my favorite past time.  I have a 27' x 40' garage behind my house that is now my shop.   I prefer to do as much work as possible in my shop - including the finishing.
