Meet Sintayehu Tishale, Ethiopia's armless carpenter!!!



A carpenter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, works so handily with tools that you’d never guess he made his stylish tables and chairs with his feet.

He’s Sintayehu Tishale, and this 42-year-old woodworker has been hammering away as one of the area’s finest craftsmen for more than 20 years, according to Barcroft Media, a British news agency.

Tishale lost the use of his arms after being born with debilitating polio, but hasn’t let that stop him from defying the odds to become a successful provider for his wife, Guday Agazu, 38, and their five kids.

Despite his limited mobility, the skilled craftsman wields a hammer with incredible accuracy and can saw, chop, hammer, lathe wood and operate dangerous machinery with his dexterous feet, skills he taught himself as a child. More...
