My son Ed has always loved toiling with his hands.
So, when he was in private school, he had an occasion to take a wood toiling class. Wood toiling is not a respected subject that you see in schools today. In fact, it was around when I was going to school in the 90s plus had no idea it was still being provided. Well, Ed’s school did him a favor by carrying it as part of their curriculum plus ever since he took the class, Ed has been building everything that you can know of. Ed has built models of cars, monuments, houses, buildings, plus so much more. And lately, Ed began toiling on custom built furniture. So far, Ed has built a custom chair, a custom coffee table, plus he is thinking about even building a custom sofa. I prefer that Ed is so sentimental about creating custom built furniture, but my problem is, I don’t know how this will lead to a lucrative career for him. Currently, Ed is toiling inside a shed that is in our yard plus as he gets the order for custom built furniture, he starts building them. Ed has done ok, but nothing of substance has certainly manifested for him. But I am hoping that it will because Ed is so sentimental about it. And this toil is not self-explanatory at all so some of his clients have made insane requests, plus Ed always manages to build exactly what they want. The best part about this is, Ed has gifted me a few of his pieces. And I am always proud to tell my friends that I have custom built furniture from Ed. I am convinced that one day, his name will be known by people across the land.
