If you have a certain wildness of spirit, a cabinet maker's workshop is not the place to express it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The world is my workshop. It is not my home.
I grew up in a craftsman's home, where things were done with our own hands. I did cabinetmaking for four years and I hated it.
I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.'
A lot of people like cabinet making; people are intrigued by it. Women in particular like cabinet making. They like it more than men do - the men are not really interested in the cabinet making.
I really think there are spirits in a place that you have to accommodate.
The kitchen is tough. It's one of the last bastions in civilized culture that sets out to crush the spirit.
That is the way a great master carpenter feels, or an architect or composer or anyone who creates anything - people want to be appreciated for what they have done.
I think I have more in common with a carpenter than you might think. We're putting things together.
Does an architecture to assuage the spirit have a place?
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
