A couple of months ago, I visited a client who’s into furniture making. He makes upholstery chairs, beds, kitchen cabinets, and more. In fact he's into full home décor.
Getting there, I met him busy at his work-table; teaching his boys how to cut, carve and shave a piece of wood. Hands-on training.
You know, there’s a lot we don’t see behind the finished pieces of furniture; the training, the patience, the craft, and more.
This is what real building is all about. Having someone older than you in the field saying: “watch how I do this, then you try.”
I couldn't help but take photos of them. Honestly, it was fascinating to watch someone pour skill into people who'll carry it forward.
And here are some of the photos I took. In fact, I was inspired to capture them in momomad.
Cutting the wood.
The point at which he said: hope you're getting what I'm doing? This shot is epic. 😂
Giving out some shaving tips first.
Here we go, let's get the damn shavings out. Lol.
Mastery isn’t loud. It’s teaching the basics until they become second nature.

All photos were taken by me, with Redmi 14c.
