Spanish cooper speaks
« on: March 17, 2014, 10:17:08 AM »
I found this interview with a cooper from Catalan this morning:

http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=el+tonelero&FORM=VIRE5#view=detail&mid=99BBFFF5FF1D72720CC599BBFFF5FF1D72720CC5

In it, he says,  "To become a good craftsman you have to love the trade.  You must live FOR the trade, not FROM the trade. ... This is the key, this is the intricacy:  to live FROM or For."

This guy is worth listening to -- his views on life, on making things by hand, what it means to live in the countryside.

I could feel his dedication in his mannerisms and fully understand his points about being a true craftsman.
