crafts•man (krftsmn) noun, A man who practices a craft with great skill.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th edition

True craftsmanship comes from knowing your tools and knowing your materials. A craftsman begins with a vision and is able to make that vision become a reality. A craftsman understands how individual elements combine to make objects that are both functional and beautiful. He has the patience to pay attention to the smallest details. Craftsmen refuse to cut corners and appreciate quality in work, in materials and in design.

Craftsmen respect the past knowing that they stand on the shoulders of their mentors. Still, they aren't afraid to venture into new ground when the job requires an innovative solution. The craftsman combines technical skills with artistry.

Antony Giacomini is proud to be a craftsman woodworker.
