He is 'Headlocks' Jordan; one of the coast's premier watermen, known for teaching punk agro wannabees basic surf etiquette, charging big waves and of course, for fine old world craftsmanship. 'Headlocks', the Master Carpenter and CEO of Jordan Construction is shown here bringing another Pergola dream into reality -this unique example is on the Phelps Estate in Upper Woodside, CA.

On seeing the new structure, the elated home owner exclaimed:

"It draws you right outside!! Why did we wait 18 years?"

and

"That elm tree has got to go - and I mean right now! It obstructs our view of the Pergola."

and

"A chamfer is a 45 dgree cut, right? Right??"
