Brigham was a carpenter and painter in his early age

One of the interesting facts about Brigham Young is that he worked as a carpenter and painter at an early age. Young left his home at the age of 16 to make a living and eventually worked as an apprentice painter, glazier, and carpenter in Auburn and New York. At the age of 16, Brigham's father informed him that he could now have his time go and provide for himself. His father stopped running, jumping, and using my strength in vain.

On his father's property, roughly 550 feet from his father's house, Brigham Young constructed a house and a carpentry shop. In that shop, he used the lathe to convert wood pieces into furniture. The machinery was powered by a dammed creek that was close to the carpenter business. Brigham put in a lot of effort and was proud of his job. He once received praise for his work that he had believed all his life that that which was worth doing was worth doing well, and have considered it as much a part of his religion to do honest, reliable work, such as would endure, for those who hired him, as to attend to the service of God's worship on the Sabbath.
