My factory: the Tajer.

“Start by doing the necessary, then do what you can and, shortly, you’ll find yourself doing the impossible.”
San Francesco d’Assisi

In the solitude of a city block sparsely populated and far from home, Horacio began to live his days and to develop its works, inviting friends and anyone who wanted to visit the place that, with thinly veiled pride, he used to call “factory”.

The 80-square-meter “Tajer”, made of hollow brick blocks, corrugated iron roof and equipped with basic hand tools, was operating in only four months.

That factory, whose only worker was Horacio, immediately began to produce. The first order he received consisted of a set of high benches for the counter of a new city bar; the benches had to be equipped with footrests, some parts had to be made of naked iron, others had to be chrome-plated or hot-painted, while seats and backs had to be covered in fine leather.

Start by doing the necessary, then do what you can and, shortly, you’ll find yourself doing the impossible.
