Examples of workmanship in a Sentence

1. Thomas Huxley:

   Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peas cods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.

2. Matt Card:

   We are very happy with Unicor's workmanship and quality, both organizations continually look for opportunities to increase production and deepen the relationship between us.
