Dean says that it is rewarding to pass on this kind of technical knowhow to others. “We not only sell these hammers, but we use them ourselves and give instructional classes involving them, as well. Recently, we conducted a small school, on-site, teaching students how to use a power hammer,” he says. “We can teach someone what they want to know, whether it’s picket design, scrolls, or organic designs. We’ll also design a class around a client’s line of work and style, either at our shop or
at their workplace, and teach their workers with equipment familiar to them.” Teamwork, excellence, and a job well done A Top Job award is quite an honor to receive, especially from one’s peers who recognize the quality of the work and the intensity of producing such a work. Although Dean is the artist who fostered the initial concept of Oak Hill’s magnificent, award-winning railing, he is the first to acknowledge
that Oak Hill’s award-winning railing was the result of the combined contributions of many talented individuals. “The craftsmanship of our entire team, working in harmony, made it all possible,” he states. “This team is constantly multi-tasking in the endless variety of client projects that come their way.” When the final piece of a job is secured in place, Oak Hill team members gather their tools, give a few highfives, and then drive home, feeling a sense of pride in a “job well done.”
