Joinery is a timeless craft that brings together the artistry of woodworking and the precision of carpentry. With an array of tools used in carpentry and joinery, skilled craftsmen create masterpieces that stand the test of time. In Shoreditch, cabinet makers showcase their expertise, crafting exquisite pieces with intricate details. Their hands move gracefully as they shape wood into functional works of art. A team of dedicated carpenters gathers to construct a cart, each member contributing their skills to bring the project to life. The sound of hammers hitting nails fills the air as they work harmoniously towards a common goal. Transporting ourselves back to 1900, we find "The Carpenter" depicted in a chromo print. This beautiful artwork captures the essence and pride associated with this noble profession. Another glimpse into history takes us to "Le Joinisier, " featured in "Magazine des petits enfants. " This vintage illustration from around 1900 showcases a joiner planting a tip with his trusty hammer on his bench while engraving syllabary books for young learners. During World War I, workshops were established for manufacturing schlittes (schlittage) used for transporting wood. These makeshift vehicles played an essential role during those challenging times when resources were scarce but ingenuity prevailed. Exploring different cultures, we encounter old closed wooden doors at Dorut Tilovat Complex in Shakhrisabz, Uzbekistan. These doors tell stories through their weathered appearance and intricate designs crafted by skilled artisans long ago. "The Carpenter" makes another appearance in Imagier de l'enfance's c. 1900 engraving – reminding us how this trade has been cherished throughout generations as part of our collective childhood memories. Gepetto himself comes alive as he manufactures Pinocchio in Simone Baudoin's illustrated edition published by Casterman – showcasing how even fictional characters are brought to life through the hands of a skilled carpenter.
