Grandfather Yankel was a carpenter by profession, but he also knew
"turnery"-making objects on a lathe. First he worked in the railroad
workshops, then alone in his carpentry workshop. Sometimes he would take on
an apprentice. He taught carpentry to his sons. In 1919 he was an
instructor at the trade union school. He knew carpentry and turnery well,
and had 30 years of practical experience. From 1920 to 1922 he worked on
the construction site of a drying factory and power station.
