— Who we are
Built for the people, by the people.
TRADES is a gathering place for everyone who builds, fixes and keeps this country running. You send the stories. We turn them into a magazine worth keeping — printed once, numbered, and made with the people in it.
- 01
Receipts or it didn't happen
Every number in the magazine has a source printed beside it.
- 02
No stock jobsites
Real crews, real shops, photographed properly. Nobody rents a hard hat here.
- 03
Printed once
One run per issue. Numbered. Never reprinted, never padded.
- 04
Operators first
Written for the person who signs the checks and swings the tools.
- 05
Funny is allowed
Smart, witty, occasionally irreverent. Never sneering at the work.
- 06
Sponsors buy space, not pages
Editorial decisions are made in the editorial room. Full stop.
If it's true, useful and about the people who build things — we want it.
