I'm a shop teatcher by trade here in northern Sweden, but like folks before me i built my knowledge years before i got to be a teacher. Built my own forge and blacksmith shed at 16 years old at my parents place in the nearby woods and started making knives and other tools. Been working as a teacher for 20 years now and a tear comes to my eye hearing about those letters on a blue day...cause them letters i got them to read to you know. Knowledge don't whey much and working with your hands is a sure way to both inner peace and life long health benefits in form of friendship and a paycheck. ❤

OUTSTANDING! A VIDEO THAT THE "CHILDREN" OF TODAY NEED TO WATCH IN ORDER TO SEE HOW DIFFICULT LIVE REALLY WAS BACK IN THE DAY!!

Yes, there are a lot of things that parents should teach their children, but most don't even think about it.

aww0181 This gentleman is talking about things I am acquainted with and have experienced much ( some) of it myself! A man who has lived through some of life's trying times! A man with a head full of history that will be lost to never be remembered!

[@SordidandSalted]
