jamo Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Caveat: all these answers are "In my experience." I am not Norm Abrams, and I don't pretend to be. I am just a humble man with a garage full of tools and a love for the craft. No need for the humility man, you've got some very good stuff here. Be proud.

Matt Saternus Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 No need for the humility man, you've got some very good stuff here. Be proud. Thank you. I am very proud of everything that leaves my shop, and I stand behind what I do 100%. It's more that I've seen what true masters can do with wood, and I'm so far from their level that it's frightening. Same thing with the term "craftsman." I'm not really comfortable when people call me a craftsman, because that's a term that I use to describe someone like Byron Morgan who has been doing something at an extremely high level for a long time and has really perfected his craft. If people feel that way about my work, I'm very grateful, it's just never something I would say about myself.

golfluvzme Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I love it when someone has the opportunity to really dive into a craft that they excel at. Your work is beautiful and I wish nothing but incredible success for you. Also, your posting of that "How To-" article was as class as it comes. Keep up the awesome work and I hope to someday have a need for one of your racks......or maybe several, LOL. Thanks, LaMont in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saternus Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Just wanted to update this thread with my newest creation. I refer to this as a "vertical wall rack." This one holds 7 putters and 8 headcovers, I just didn't put all the dowels in for the pictures. Any guesses which state it's headed to?

Matt Saternus Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Considering that I never would have thought I'd be in this business a year ago, I think the first few months of Saternus Woodworking have been great. I want to thank everyone who has supported me in the early days of this endeavor, especially Colt & MGS for allowing me to publicize my work. As I look forward with hopes of expanding the business, I want to ask you: what can Saternus Woodworking do for you? What would you like to see from Saternus Woodworking? -More brand-specific racks? -Different models/styles of racks? -Different/more customization options? This question is open to everyone, and feel free to be constructively critical. So far the feedback I've received has been very positive, which is truly gratifying, but if there's something I can improve I want to know it. Thanks! -Matt Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saternus Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Metal, eh? Kinda goes against the "Woodworking" part, but my ears are open. What kind of thing are you envisioning here? Wall racks, floor racks? Any reasons to prefer metal over wood other than personal taste? Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see that skill with the router Haha, the router is probably my least favorite tool. It stays in the router table to route edges and that's about it. As I said, Dave Billings was the one who made that Machine header; a rig to do things like that would require a new garage and about $3K.

meyer7001 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 That Byron Morgan rack in the picture of the three with the longboards as a backboard is just awesome. I love that design the best by a lot. You do some amazing work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that design the best by a lot. You do some amazing work. Thank you very much. The surfboard rack definitely creates the most chatter and it's one of my favorites. I do have an agreement in place with Byron to build racks with Byron logos, if anyone is interested. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saternus Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Here's a brand new style of rack that I just completed for myself. The #1 thing that I like about it is the myriad of ways it can be configured: putters on one side, HCs on the other, longer/shorter HC shelves, more/less HC shelves, more/less putters. Very customizable. This particular piece is built out of cherry with a cherry gel stain finish. Follow me on Twitter: @MattSaternus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Saternus Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 I just completed this rack this morning for a member here. It's 100% genuine mahogany and the wood is unbelievably beautiful - it has this very soft appearance that is totally unique. This is one of those times when I'm truly bummed that I don't have better photography skills. The finish is a many-layered concoction that has been very popular. This is also the biggest rack I've ever built - 30 putters! - and it's going to be holding an unreal putter collection. I hope we will all get to see some pics when it's fully loaded.
