Steven Maxwell
Steven Maxwell has written about woodworking since 1988, beginning with his first article in Canadian Home Workshop magazine. A professional carpenter and cabinetmaker, Maxwell shares the love of his work through his column with readers across Canada. Clearly communicating technical information to a non-technical audience is Maxwell’s stock-in-trade.

Steven Maxwell has been technical editor of Canadian Home Workshop since 1991. His features have appeared in Cottage Life, Canadian Living, Carpenter, Homes & Cottages, The Toronto Star, The Ottawa Citizen, and the Edmonton Journal.

Maxwell has just completed his dream home, built entirely by hand, on Manitoulin Island. He lives with his wife Mary and their four children.
