My father was very much a handy person round the house, and I learnt a lot of carpentry from him.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learned construction and carpentry from my father at a young age, so I felt very comfortable and I felt very satisfied when I worked in that field.
My dad designed houses and was an architect for many years.
The way I grew up, everyone knew how to cook, sew... carpentry.
I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
I grew up in a few houses because my dad was a builder, so we used to build and sell quite a lot.
As I mentioned, I was a carpenter for a time.
I am quite handy; not to sound bragadocious, but I've been working with wood and building things my entire life. I used to be a skateboarder and built ramps with my father. Then, the first two years I lived in Los Angeles, I worked as a carpenter building sets.
My father was a very good craftsman. He made furniture, he made silverware and he had an incredible gift in terms of how you can make something yourself.
My dad worked all sorts of jobs when I was growing up and finally ended up as a surveyor; my mum delivers meals to old folk around where we live. We didn't have much money when I was growing up, but I had a very happy childhood.
Ninety percent of my best friends back home are plumbers, electricians, builders, or landscapers. Most of our dads worked in trades.
