In this book, the author Joshua A. Klein, founder of Mortise & Tenon Magazine, presents the perhaps most comprehensive record of the life of American craftsman Jonathan Fisher, who lived in the early 19th century. With the help of detailed drawings, antique tools and conserved pieces of furniture, Joshua A. Klein describes how the furniture was made at that time and which tools Fisher worked with. Using similar tools and modelling methods, the author created replicas of over 100 pieces of furniture to gain insight into the manufacturer's remarkable productivity. Colour photos, maps, natural history drawings, mathematical exercises and woodcuts make these insights almost breathtaking. A comprehensive and exciting work that will captivate woodworkers and history lovers alike.
