“Glory be to Work and Scorn upon Idleness – Work and Honour, this is our wealth”. So read the maxim inscribed on Companion House Carpenters’ diplomas in the 19th century. The words still hold true today, for the Companions are well aware that the practice of their trade, knowledge, effort, work, the hand and the tool serve both to create monuments and masterpieces and to build men.
