<h2>It Was 1974</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The air in my grandfather’s workshop was thick with the smell of pine shavings and linseed oil. I was twelve years old, and he handed me a chisel and a block of oak. “Make it fit,” he said. “Not because you have to, but because you want to.”</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>I spent three days on that dovetail. The pins were too wide, the tails too tight. I cried when I saw the gap. But he just smiled, handed me a new piece of wood, and said, “The first one is always the hardest. The second one teaches you how to listen.”</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>That lesson has shaped every piece I’ve made since. The first joint wasn’t perfect, but it was mine. And that’s what matters.</p>

<h2>The Tools of the Trade</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>My grandfather taught me that every tool has a soul. The chisel, the saw, the mallet—they all have their own rhythm. You have to learn to listen to them.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Here are the tools I still use today:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li><strong>Chisel:</strong> For carving the finest details.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><strong>Saw:</strong> For cutting the wood into shape.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><strong>Mallet:</strong> For driving the chisel with precision.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><strong>Sandpaper:</strong> For smoothing the rough edges.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||

<h2>Why I Still Make Things</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In a world that’s obsessed with speed and efficiency, I still choose to make things by hand. It’s not about the money or the fame. It’s about the joy of creating something with your own hands.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Every piece I make tells a story. And I hope that when you hold one of my creations, you can feel the love and care that went into it.</p>
