YH Film: 85-year-old Montgomery man builds with his hands and heart

Do millennials own any tools?

Perhaps not, but George does.

My neighbor George gets around by scooter because he suffers from severe spine arthritis and a leg and back condition. He makes anything he dreams of with his hands, his heart, and his beloved tools. George never had any training, but learned how to use tools by building hen houses and barns when he was growing up in the country.

“It’s rewarding to do something for somebody else,” George told me. “I don’t charge anyone but sometimes they give me pies and such….if somebody wants [help] they can have it.”

WATCH George show me a thing or two about using tools to create something from nothing.
