Walt Watson first began working with steel as a union welder in 1969 in New York. His father and grandfather were both involved in the metal industry, so perhaps molten steel does run in Walt's veins. In 1980, Walt founded his own industrial sheet metal business in Corning, New York, specializing in custom fabrication work for Fortune 500 clients such as Ingersoll Rand, Corning Inc., Dupont, Philips Lighting, and The Metro Transit Authority (New York City).

In Spring 2001, the Watsons relocated their life and business to California’s Central Coast—with a showroom in downtown San Luis Obispo and their design & build studio at See Canyon in San Luis Obispo.
