Band 8

I’d like to talk about my neighbour, Seu Antonio, who’s remarkably good at making things from wood. He’s a retired carpenter and lives next door to my family in Curitiba, in Brazil. I’ve known him since I was small, because I used to sit outside his workshop for hours, watching him work. He makes wooden chairs and small toys for the children in our street, and he once built a bookshelf for my mother that still stands in our living room. He learned the work from his father when he was a teenager, and last Christmas he made a small wooden train for my little brother, who still sleeps with it. What I remember most is the smell of fresh wood and the sound of his tools, and sometimes he let me hold the sandpaper, and he was always meticulous about every pieceТабигый предлогу бар так сын атооч. He doesn’t use machines for the delicate parts, and he sands each toy until it’s smooth as silkТабигый, так колдонулган салыштыруу. I admire the skill for several reasons.

I’m hoping to learn it from him one day.
