The Wheelwright's Shop by George Sturt offers an intimate and vivid portrayal of traditional craftsmanship at the turn of the 20th century. Through Sturt's meticulous observations and engaging narrative, readers gain an unparalleled glimpse into the life and labor of a wheelwright in a small English village. Originally published in 1923, this classic work documents the intricacies of wheel-making and the profound changes brought about by industrialisation. Sturt's reflective prose not only captures the technical aspects of the craft but also relates the social and economic implications of a rapidly evolving world. A. F. Collins, with great care and expertise, has selected and edited chapters from Sturt's original work to present a comprehensive yet accessible version for modern readers. Collins' edition retains the authenticity and richness of Sturt's descriptions. The chapters of this book include: * The Wheelwright's Shop * Timber: Buying * Timber: Carting and Converting * The Sawyers * Timber: Seasoning * "Wheel-Stuff" * Hand-Work * "Bottom-Timbers" * Wagons * Learning the Trade * Wheels: Spokes and Felloes * The Smith: "Getting Ready" * And much more... Whether you are a historian, a craftsman, or simply someone who appreciates the art of traditional trades, The Wheelwright's Shop offers a timeless reflection on the value of skilled labor and the enduring legacy of traditional crafts.
