Bob Sanderson

Bob Sanderson started his woodworking and metalworking journey when he built model rockets and remote-control cars as a child. He studied wood technology in college and then worked as an assistant in a canoe-building class. In 1999, Sanderson moved to Fort Bragg, Calif., to study under James Krenov. Unable to find the right hardware for a tansu project, he started working with metal. A lot of experimentation, some machine-tool classes, and a demand for his product led to his business, Sanderson Hardware. He still lives in Fort Bragg with his wife, Taimi, son, Frej, and dog, Mable.
