Recently a new crop of Tite-Mark ripoffs have entered the market. They’re half the price of the real thing, have folksy American brand names and are made in Taiwan. The easy knee-jerk reaction is to blame the Far East for these rip-off products. But I can assure you that Chinese and Taiwanese factories are not…
During my occasional free evening, I research the history of our storefront at 837 Willard St. in Covington. While I’ve learned a lot by digging through official records, I’ve learned more by talking to the neighbors – many of whom have lived on our street for 60 or 70 years. The juiciest story? There were a…
We get this question every week. Here’s the short version of the story: We were using American Apparel shirts for the printing, and the company’s supply chain is frustrating. It would regularly (every week) run out of some color or some size and stop supplying it to our printer. Also, our warehouse was having trouble…
The Lost Art Press storefront will be open this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with our usual mix of free woodworking instruction, discounted blemished books and tours of the building. We also will host Nancy Hiller that same evening from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. for a free book-release party for her fantastic…
Tom Bonamici just received our shipment of buttons for our Chore Coat, and they look great. These buttons will be the only branding on the exterior of the coat. The interior coat pocket will feature a nice embroidered patch. Dehen 1920 should start stitching the coats soon. We’ll let you know as soon as that…

Orion Henderson estimated there are more than 23,000 pieces of Londonderry hardware now for sale on the Horton site. If this is all the information you need, get your credit…
Katy has completed a batch of 25 tins of soft wax that is ready to ship. You can read all about it and order some here. It’s great stuff for the interiors of carcases, as a topcoat over paint, a finish for leather and a lubricant for tools. We love the stuff. All the wax…
The Lost Art Press storefront in Covington, Ky., will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 10. This weekend you’ll see the shop in full-production mode (which is our way of saying “excuse the mess.”) Brendan Gaffney is finishing up a gorgeous and extremely complex bookcase that involves a lot of…
The only thing better than a good book is a good book owned by someone special. Peter Follansbee is selling off Jennie Alexander’s woodworking library via his blog. There are lots of rare and wonderful texts. All useful and well-loved. Here is the link. One of the highlights is the 1976 anniversary edition of Roubo’s…
