The craft, trade, or process of manufacturing or constructing coaches; the business or profession of making carriages.
From 'coach' plus 'making' as a gerund, established as a distinct profession name by the 17th-18th centuries.
Coachmaking was so prestigious that entire cities like Dublin and London had famous coachmaking districts—the skills took years to master, and a fine coach could take months to complete!
Industrial and artisanal coach manufacturing reinforced male occupational identity through 19th-century factory and guild structures.
Refer to 'coach making' as a craft/process without occupational gender coding.
