The trades have always passed knowledge down from one generation to the next.
Sometimes it comes from a foreman.
Sometimes from an experienced hand.
Sometimes from mistakes learned the hard way.
The Working Man’s Handbook is a collection of lessons from the trades — practical knowledge meant to help working men and women do the job safely, skillfully, and with pride.
