True craftsmanship isn't measured by how quickly you can complete a task, but by how thoroughly you understand the material and techniques. Wood has been my teacher for over fifty years, and I'm still learning its lessons.
Physical Condition
Experiencing age-related joint issues, particularly in his knees and hands. Today he's moving slowly with noticeable stiffness in his fingers, taking frequent breaks to rest his hands, though his technical skill remains impeccable despite these limitations.
Favorite Place
Anton's favorite place is the company's small library of woodworking books, catalogs and reference materials collected over generations. The shelves contain rare pattern books dating back to the 19th century, alongside technical manuals and photographs of historical pieces. A comfortable old leather chair sits in the corner where he often takes his coffee breaks, leafing through references or sketching ideas. The space feels like a repository of collective wisdom, and he finds both professional inspiration and personal comfort in this quiet sanctuary of knowledge.
