It is an impressive handcrafted piece, a true work of art, and when I saw the price... wow... but it's worth it! The craftsmanship is impressive, and seeing that boy following in his father's footsteps filled me with tenderness but also satisfaction. Few children are dedicated to and enjoy this art.
I love the wood and all the work that goes into it, and this is... wonderful! Thank you!
Here you pay the work and the wood too, which is not cheap as you need a special type of wood and dried too.

Back in the day, boys followed their father's footsteps but today that is not what they do. This is a job that is on its way of disappearing, because not many are ordering these gates. This is good in a way as they fewer the masters, the bigger the market, but still, you can't force your kid to do what you do.
I think that in the past it was done out of tradition; children weren't asked what they wanted to do. Everyone should follow their own path. It's sad that something as valuable as this art is disappearing.
You're right about that, kids in the past had no right to choose, but times have changed. I don't see why force your kid to do what you want. So many lives had been destroyed this way.
I think these days only those follow their parents' footsteps who are talented (like in this case) or they don't know better. No offense.
I understand that last point, and that's how it is. Now things have changed a lot; freedom of choice is something important in life.
Only selfish parents are forcing their kids to do that they (parents) want and that's how you destroy your kid.
