What do you like about this subject?
Every job is different and interesting at the same time. I recover old and new furniture which is rewarding to see the outcome of each piece. I take apart sofa's and place them in basements, bedrooms, etc. and put them back together and each time the look of amazement on the customer's faces is overwhelming.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I'm happy with what I'm doing in this field and will evently retire.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
Most people didn't know that you could take an arm, back or cut a sofa completely in half and put it back together in the same condition, I do this service.
