– The workshop was built a hundred years ago by my opa [grandfather – editors], in 1920 – recounts Dariusz Gross while showing me around the workshop. – He was a wheelwright, he built wagons, until the Industrial Revolution didn’t make him change the profession. As the first individual in our town, he installed a steam boiler which powered the carpentry machines. My father was born here. He expanded the workshop, and transformed the steam engine to an electric one.
