" The education as a wood sculptor was a comfortable matter, though we took care how long we worked on one piece. Such a task had to be finished within a couple of hours. However, our master never predefined a time for that. We were allowed to work very versatilely, make our own outlines and such things. Besides working, we listened to the radio, because machines seldom ran. This was very pleasant and also instructive. We often listened to radio lectures. So we worked and learned interesting stuff at the same time."
