American carpenter Hank Silver on why he couldn't turn down an opportunity to help resurrect Paris' Notre Dame cathedral from a devastating fire.
Paris — Five years have passed since Notre Dame cathedral in Paris was engulfed in flames. The iconic spire and timber roof were destroyed in the blaze. People around the world were shocked at the scale of the fire and the damage it caused, but work to restore the iconic landmark to its former glory continues. Among those involved in the monumental project is an American carpenter who was given a rare chance to take part in this historic restoration project.
'Many carpenters came from the United States, from England, from Denmark, from Spain, because they were fond of these techniques, fond of oak,' Jost said, noting a 'spirit of unity' among the artisans. 'There is pride and humility,' he said, adding that all the workers on the site 'have been marked for life.
