My grandfather was a brilliant craftsman. He could make anything out of wood. Grandfather was building things since he was in his teenage years. He started off making cabinets and then evolved to more unique pieces of work.
He started making hand made cuckoo clocks when I was about twelve years old. The detail was exquisite. It was the most interesting thing to watch. I could spend hours just watching him work on the clocks. He would put special little touches that made it even more special. It was brilliance in the making.
