A glimpse into the process of making olive wood products in a small shop just out side of Bethlehem. I'm just amazed that this craftsman still has all his fingers.

Just amazing 

Where is that OHS officer when you need him. No eye/face protection, no guards, no dust collection, no emergency stop, no spectator control. Certainly looks like someone has been watching out for him. Its hard to imaging that you could sit there all day and not make a mistake. Still I've counted his fingers and I believe he has all ten.

Safety issues aside it is a simple business using simple woodworking tools. Similar to a craft business my wife used to run. She made wooden fish. Yes, Wooden Fish. It was quite successful till her life situation changed and she couldn't spend enough time on them any more. Children have that effect on mothers
