Bill Nash shares his woodworking expertise on SPACES, our newly launched social media network that is safe, civil and 100 per cent local
Recalling one of his earliest memories, he says that while his dad was building a bedroom for his newborn brother, Nash could be found sauntering behind him picking up scraps of wood and building birdhouses out of them. “He encouraged me to go around the yard where we were working and pick up old nails from previous jobs,” he said from his workshop in Sault Ste. Marie. “He showed me how to straighten them out on a piece of wood with a hammer so they were usable again.
Seventeen years and four kids later, and it was time to move on; Nash and his wife eventually sold their self-made home. They now live in central Sault Ste. Marie, but even into retirement, nothing will slow him down. His latest project? Being a host in our woodworking space, sharing tips and pics. While standing at the checkout counter in the summer of 1986 he overheard the clerk telling a customer on the phone that they could buy materials to build a fence at the store, but they would have to find someone else to construct it.
As a way to empower women in the Sault to DIY-it, they pitched the idea for The Handywoman course to Sault College around 2010.
