Detailed Description

Another Work Is Possible - Joshua A. Klein

In 2019, CSF (Charpentiers Sans Frontières) constructed a blacksmith shop for Mortise & Tenon Magazine. "Carpenters Without Borders" are a diverse group of skilled craftspeople who use traditional methods and tools. They have restored a medieval bridge in France, a new hewn-truss roof system on a blacksmith shop in Romania, and have even taken their unique skills to China. This is their first project in the United States.

Another Work Is Possible documents this ambitious project by CSF where they:

  • Source logs from the local forest, using horse power to harvest
  • Peel, hew, scrib, and cut joinery with simple, ancient hand tools
  • Share communal meals made with local ingredients
  • And finally, raise of this fine structure, accomplishing all of this in less than two weeks!

In addition to the excellent photography, Another Work Is Possible provides technical explanations of tools and tasks. There are interviews with many of the carpenters themselves and others on the value of using traditional methods and tools.

"Much more than a simple how-to, these (Craftspeople) celebrate the beauty of skilled manual labor, of slowing down and reconnecting to hand craft, sustainability, and fellowship in our increasingly distracted world." - Joshua A. Klein.


Another Work Is Possible is hardbound with matte dust jacket with Smythe-sewn and matte-coated heavy paper for long-term durability. Printed in the United States.

230 pages.
