Brrrr! Frosty Humpday Triviola

Who stole the sun's warmth? I'm sure blessed to have a heater in the workshop. It's mighty fridgid here in the Foothills of Mount Level. Onto the trivia:

This woodworker was kidnapped at the age of seven and forced into heavy labor on a farm by his abductors for 7 years. His kidnappers would never allow him to have any creative outlets. He learned his form of woodworking secretly at night in his attic room.

Who is this woodworker, what was his specialty and where did he eventually work and gain his fame?
