Binding: Softcover Retail Price: $17.95 PAYPAL & Credit Card "It is our intention to notice many things, however trivial, that may in any way serve to enlighten our readers respecting the joiner's art." - The Bench Between 1866 and 1867, Temple Thorold wrote Our Workshop, as well as numerous articles, for publisher George Routledge & Sons, London and New York. His topics were carpentry, joinery, model making and machinist work. Our Workshop was first introduced in 1866 as a series of articles in Routledge's Every Boy's Annual. That same year, Routledge published it as a book, indicating the reader's interest in Thorold's work. Our Workshop is one of the earliest 19th Century books to introduce woodworking as an educational and avocational past-time. Intended for the amateur mechanic (a phrase describing individuals of a mechanical inclination) of any age, Our Workshop provides a valuable review of period hand tool woodworking. "Profusely illustrated" with 93 engravings of hand tools and their uses, Our Workshop is a must for anyone who has an interest in period woodworking. |
