Im Werkstatt von Martin Funk; Schmied, Ingenieur und Ausbilder
Martins first words on the phone: "You have to be very very patient."
And his second remark: "Copper is so much work, it's not profitable."
The profession of coppersmith has almost disappeared in Germany. The name of the profession has been officially changed to "Konstructionsmechaniker Fachrichtung Anlagebauer" (construction mechanic specializing in installation technology), which the real coppersmiths consider an insult.
