Excerpt from Practical Pattern Making: A Thoroughly Practical Work on the Art of Making Patterns, Written by a Pattern-Maker With Thirty Years' Experience
IF there should be as much time and skill devoted to the Search for the original patternmaker as has been displayed in the search for ancestors who may be exhibited without detriment to our present social and moral standing, it would perhaps be found that he was known among his neighbors as the best man to build that new house for the mayor, or the sty for Farmer Jones' pigs, and, in fact, any thing wanted, which was constructed principally Of Wood.
Perhaps it was a plough which first demanded the services of a patternmaker, and as the plough had always been made of wood and constructed by the party mentioned above, what more natural than to employ the same capable indi vidual to construct the desired pattern? Or, what is still more probable, that this same talented man, whose many accomplishments have been handed down through genera tions to the present skilful members of the trade, originated the pattern idea and used one of his own wooden mould boards for the first pattern. Some Of the castings made today look as if the original pattern were still in use.
