About coffee in Turnov
Around Turnov, precious stones were cut for centuries at home rather than in manufactories: in summer families worked the fields, in winter they sat down at their cutting wheels. With hand-driven wheels, two cutters sat facing each other at the same table. Each turned the crank of their wheel with the right hand and held in the left a wooden peg with the stone stuck on with a cement of shellac, wax and ground brick. Machines only arrived in the 20th century, and they mostly cut garnets, synthetics and glass, because every natural stone still needs a cut of its own and a human hand.
