(In this episode, Korial talks about his woodwork occupation in his home garage while trying to restore wood furniture and to recycle wooden pallets and panels found on the roadsides in his city. At the earliest stage of his settlement in Australia, Korial was surprised when he noticed these objects left in front of houses waiting to be collected, crushed and dumped as landfill waste by the garbage trucks. He decided then to give a new life to the unwanted objects. With the help of his wife and the support of the family friends, Korial repairs, restores and polishes wooden objects, then gives them to those who need them. His hobby gives him in return a feeling of satisfaction and happiness.
