The magic of the tree: how Belgorod creates useful things from improvised means
He does not sell his products, but gives them to family, friends and acquaintances.
Belgorod citizen Andrei Volkov from childhood loved to work with wood. But then there was no passion: work, home, family. But after 40 years, he was drawn to the instrument again.
Lessons from Grandpa
Andrei was born and raised in Belgorod, but often spent time in Shebekinsky district with his parents on his father's and mother's line.
In the workshop of the village of Terezovka with his grandfather Vasily Volkov, he joined the carpentry business. The craftsman was the second grandfather - Semyon Glazunov from the Balka farm. The passion for woodworking and the desire to create something with their own hands accompanied the Belgorod citizen in school.
Interest in technology led the young man to the Belgorod Industrial College for a specialty related to radio communication and broadcasting systems. He still works on this profile today.
With the advent of work and family, the man temporarily left the hobby, but after a while decided to return to him. So he made a bench that he gave his father for his 65th birthday.
Creativity without drawings
The second product of Andrei Volkov was a decorative well with a gate, chain, patterns and a wooden bucket. After that, he made a booth for his dog Zhuzhi with windows, a terrace and carved inscriptions.
For work, the Belgorod citizen uses an electric jigsaw, screwdriver and stameska, as materials - boards that go into waste. Instead of ready-made drawings often comes your own imagination.
Gifts with your own hands
Why he has such a sense of beauty and style, Andrey Volkov himself can not explain. He believes he learned a lot from his grandfathers. The wizard simply looks at the material and imagines what the finished product will look like, and then implements the idea.
Belgorod does not sell its products, but gives to relatives, friends and acquaintances. More in detail - in the material "BelPress".
