The wheelwright and carpenter was a most important figure in village life. Making and mending farm waggons was often the principal part of his work, and a the wheels required the greatest skill and accuracy the term 'wheelwright' was commonly applied to craftsmen whose work also included making field gates, coffins and much else. This book describes and illustrates the many aspects of their work: the layout of the shop; the timber they used and the sawyers who cut it up for them; the waggons they built; the making of wheels and the tools they used.
