Synopsis
"Mechanick Exercises" was written, printed, and published by Moxon between 1683-1685 and reprinted in 1703. Breaking away from Guild restrictions, he wrote of what he knew from his experiences as a practitioner of skilled trades., Mechanick Exercises: Or The Doctrine Of Handy-Works, was written, printed and published by Joseph Moxon between 1683 1685 and reprinted in 1703. Breaking away from Guild restrictions, Moxon wrote of what he knew from his experiences as a practitioner of skilled trades. A mathematician, writer, printer, publisher and maker of maps, globes and scientific instruments, Joseph Moxon was also the first tradesman to be awarded membership in the Royal Society of London. Mechanick Exercises popularized the secrets of the skilled trades of Smithing, Joinery, House Carpentry, Turning and Bricklaying, along with the making of Sun Dials. Mechanick Exercises is as important a reference today as a description of early skilled trades as it was in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

    Seller was playing some type of game. They were "taking a break" so I followed the item. They apparently only had one left. There were two other followers. I bought the item when the seller returned from their break. Payment was processed. A day or two later I was notified that the item was out of stock. My money was returned. Perhaps the issue is with eBay and not the seller. Either way, it was not a positive experience.

    When a seller cancels an order I expect a valid reason why. This seller gave me no valid reason why. Gave no reason at all. If sellers cannot manage their business properly, make sure they have stock, make sure to properly take down listings when they are out of stick, that is when they get a good review.
