Mark, glad you're enjoying it.:o) Jeremy, that's awesome! There's so much great info in the book. I also forgot to mention that the much debated secret to the nib is finally revealed! (Just kidding, people.

Sorry.that was mean.) Bob, you're right. There are things about shop practices and apprentices' activities that I've never read elsewhere. Are you writing a review? I'm enjoying reading everyone's take on the book. We all seem to be attracted to different aspects. Dyami, Joel is a wealth of information for sure and I'd love to stop by to see him someday. He's only about 4 hours from me.

Bob, my partner would have a big gigglefest over that. She can make anything woodworking-related seem naughty. Don't even try to talk to her about crotchwood. Jerm, I wish there were a program like they have in England (and other countires) to help preserve handcrafts. It's important for kids to learn to work with their hands. And they still like it--I saw that first-hand at the WIA conference at Valley Forge. Wesley, that's a good question.

We can do that on an individual basis, but there is an organization to help kids learn woodworking: You are correct about the phrase I carved into my tool cabinet.; ) I wrote about it in a February 14, 2008 blog post. John, your apprentice is a lucky girl! Rob, you have a good point! Joel does mention some of the hardships in his write up--workers having to pay for materials if they botch a job, for instance. The story itself is written in a charming way. Probably because they were trying to paint a nice picture for young people who might be considering a job in the woodworking trade. Auguste, excellent question.

I subscribe to the motto: If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. So, had I not liked the book, I would not have written a review.

The Joiner and Cabinet Maker Authors: Anon, Christopher Schwarz, and Joel Moskowitz ISBN: 978-0-578-03926-8 Available through (with DVD );; and. Published 1839; 1841; 1883 (w/addendum), and 2009 (expanded edition includes 1883 addendum and added commentary, notes, and instructions) First published in 1839, The Joiner and Cabinet Maker is an instructional text on the life of a young joiner's apprentice, and tells the story of a fictional young apprentice by the name of Thomas, starting with his applying for the position and his initial duties in the shop. Eventually, Thomas builds a client a small packing box, then a 'School Box', and finally a simple dresser. The author goes into great detail on all of these projects Thomas completes, giving us one of the earliest, intimate views of early 19th century woodworking procedures and techniques. There are essentially three parts to this book I would like to look at in this review. The first part is the original text of the book (along with a precious few illustrations). Then there are the parts added by the additional authors, both of whom are very well known to modern hand tool woodworking enthusiasts.
