A wainwright or cartwright is a trades person skilled in the making and repairing of wagons and carts. The word wainwright is the combination of the archaic words " wain" (a large wagon for farm use) and "wright" (a worker or maker), originating from the Old English wægnwyrhta. [1] A master wainwright employs several craftsmen, including wheelwrights, blacksmiths and painters. [2]
