A hand of halos for Josh By BELINDA HARRISON
JOSH Paul has always liked to tinker with bits and bobs and pieces of metal and wood and now the 18 year old from Bright’s hobby fills in his spare time around his full time job. “The first thing I ever made from metal was when I was around nine or 10 years old,” Josh said. “I was staying with my grandparents on their farm in central New South Wales and I made a model house which included all the small pieces of furniture within it.” Throughout his early schooling life in Bright, Josh’s love of metal and wood continued. “I would often build my own contraptions when I was younger and I continued this interest when I started year seven at Cathedral College in Wangaratta,” Josh said. “For two or three years, I did wood and metal work at school but it has always been a hobby.” In June 2021, while in the midst of completing his VCE via onsite and home schooling, the garage in Josh’s parents’ backyard started to become his own personal workshop.
