Fascinating joinery connections from a fetish carpenter

It would seem that in our age this is an absolutely impractical exercise: mastering old, complex joinery connections in order to connect a pair of bars.

This story is about a carpenter who works in a small workshop in Berlin. His name is Dorian bracht(Dorian Bracht), he tells about himself that he started his path in woodworking in 2007 as an apprentice.

Learning carpentry was not his main goal, but rather to gain personal experience. But in the end it dragged on ...

After his apprenticeship, he did not immediately start working with wood and first got a job in an ordinary company. Dorian was already thinking about giving up a career in woodworking, but as always, chance helped: his father made an order that required certain carpentry skills.

This work put everything in its place, allowed you to do what you love and get a job in a small workshop in Berlin.

Carpenter fetishist he calls himself and if you look at his photo in Instagram, then we can agree with this.

Or this work (scroll through the gallery)

And he also has YouTube channel, where you can see the manufacture of such connections.

View how the connection is made, and how everything fits exactly - really mesmerizing. This is despite the fact that everything is done by hand without any CNC.

From the point of view of many people in modern society, such an activity is impractical and meaningless. After all, what is the point of wasting several hours of your time trying to connect two pieces of wood in a cunning way? And this is outraged ...

And in my opinion it says envy. Envy that another person was able to find their favorite business and can earn their living doing what they like.
