patternmaker

Where it comes from

From pattern + maker.

noun patternmakers

  1. A tradesperson who makes wooden patterns from which sand molds for sand casting are made. One soon learned, however, that it was no easy thing to make wood do exactly as one required it. It looked quite easy in the masterly hands of the experienced pattern-maker, but the mysteries of dowelling and mortice and tenon were not uncovered in a week or two.
  2. Someone who makes other kinds of patterns, such dress patterns.
