We’ve revived the first English language book on how-to woodworking, updated the language and added photos and analysis of this historic text. In 1678, a printer and globe maker named Joesph Moxon began publishing a series of pamphlets that explored the tools and practices of six trades, including the joiner. When assembled, these pamphlets became “The Mechanick Exercises” – the first English language account of the trades.
