Wagons are a pinnacle of English craft.
Imagine looking at some wood and metal, just sitting there on the ground all formless, and thinking: I can make a thing of both utility and beauty out of this.

Firstly a note on wagons.
Before the combustion engine and pneumatic tyres, vehicles relied on their construction and draught animals to be able to get around.
Each wagon is a distillation of its region’s geography. Each is uniquely suited to its environment.

Wagons are so complicated it feels like we need a PhD just to look at them.
Craftspeople use roughly 80-90 different tools to make one.
This includes sawing the wood, crafting the wheel, forging the ironwork, tyring the wheels and painting the body.
