Tom Peterson

Tom started as a tool repair specialist before becoming a framer. He maintains Heritage's extensive tool collection while working on projects. His expertise in both tools and framing makes him invaluable for training new workers on equipment use.

Experience: 20 years combined experience in tools and framing (8/10)

Favorite Jobs

• Tool maintenance
• Complex cuts
• Equipment training

Quality tools maintained properly are the foundation of good craftsmanship. I love seeing apprentices master both the tools and the techniques of our trade.

Physical Condition

Dealing with mild carpal tunnel syndrome from repeated tool work, uses ergonomic tools and takes regular breaks

Favorite Place

The tool room is my pride and joy. Every tool has its place on custom-built shadow boards, and the maintenance station has perfect task lighting. The charging station for our cordless tools is organized by team, and the testing area lets us ensure everything is running perfectly before it goes out to a job.
