I first started woodworking as a child helping my father in his basement workshop. Woodworking was a passionalte hobby of his and have fond memories of being his little Gofer as we used to Make sawdust as he used to say.
After high school I went to college as an engineering student, but was unhappy with that choice. After an unsuccessful year in the engineering program I changed my major to the BFA program in Industrial and Interior Design. It was there that I was exposed to the Furniture Design program at RITs School for American Crafts.
Upon graduation in 1987, not being ready for the Real World, I travelled and worked a variety of jobs. I followed the sun from in Montauk, NY fo St. Croix, USVI and Key West, FL. I worked as a waiter and tried my hand at commercial Tuna fishing before taking my first Real job as a cabinetmaker in a small shop in Hoboken, NJ.
Over the past 20 years I have worked as a cabinetmaker, Designer, draftsman and CNC programer in commercial woodworking, kitchen showrooms and exhibit companies. I had my first paying woodworking commission as Tim Sarno Design in 2002 and have been growning the business ever since.
I live in Marietta, Ga just outside Atlanta with my wife and 2 kids. I am currently making a big green puch with new materials and finishes.

Re: Pedestal
Very nice piece. I am fond af saying, "Anyone can cut a straight line." Curves really challenge us, but are so worth it in the end.

I can see the concerns about gloves and woodworking. However, it is the responsibility of each of us to take responsibility for our actions. Wearing a pair of well fitted gloves with no loose or frayed strings should be safe. As with any clothing, nothing loose or hanging that could get cought in a spinning blade or cutter head. Our industry is full of guys who can't count to 10 anymore. it can be dangerous work at times, I think the key it to always be paying attention. Tools have a habit of biting when your not paying attention. Personally, I can only count to about 9.9. My table saw bit me once when I wasn't paying attention. Lesson learned!
