Eric M. Saperstein is Master of Artisans, Owner, Webmaster, Editor, Bookkeeper, Buyer, Office Manager, Legal Pit-bull, and he’s in charge of vacuuming the shop. The operational functions of furniture design, construction, and finishing as well as antique restoration are all in his daily activities.

Eric started in woodworking around the time he started to walk, finding himself spending time in the shop with Stanley throughout his childhood. Eric could handle most common tools and even operate most of the power equipment by the time he was ten years old. As a teenager he absorbed more than his father thought as he provided a second set of hands in the shop.

Eric took over Artisans in 2000, expanding the array of services and exponentially increasing the marketing presence by creating a website, www.artisansofthevalley.com The site took on its own life and is now the largest single shop woodworking website on the internet.

The web presence allowed Eric to begin to reach a much wider audience, so the reach of the shop began to extend not only across New Jersey and into Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware, but soon projects were spanning out nationwide. We now even ship custom commissions around the world.

Eric received his master’s certification from his father, Master Craftsman Stanley D. Saperstein, in 2008. This fulfilled Stan’s promise to his teacher, C. N. Grinnell and ensured another generation of master craftsmen was created.

We've launched a blog site (www.artisansofthevalley.com/blog) in March of 2009. The site will feature artists of all sorts in all mediums, as well as our own work, hobbies, adventures, and other unique articles and tech tips. Soon we're hoping to launch our forum (bulletin board) as well.

Hello Eric,

Let me welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find being a member of this group to be both a rewarding and an inspirational part of your woodworking adventure.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

Thanks for the welcome – we always have fun sharing our work with other craftsmen. Great ideas exchanges always lead to new inspirations.

Yes – I have a tenancy to get addicted to sites like this. Also have my ADD kick in and disappear for periods, then reappear with a pile of new stuff to post.

There’s lots of material in here I see we can feature on our blog site – we are looking to include an array of artists. I won’t tend to post direct competition, (IE a pro that makes the same table I make.) but there are so many niche pieces in woodworking almost every woodworker I’ve come across has a style or unique piece that is out of our portfolio range that makes for a great source of material. My goal is to build our newsletter and our blog so we have a following of art lovers that have an appreciation for creative talents and craftsmanship.

I’m especially interested in shops that are finding unique ways to reclaim materials, finding new finishing techniques or interesting methods of using technology.

Thanks!
