A good hammer is like a good folding knife, it should stay with you forever and act as an extension of your will. I’m not a big fan of hammers from the hardware store. In general I find them ill-balanced, poorly heat-treated with odd-shaped handles (but other than those details, they are fine). Or maybe…
Today the painters finished their job on the Lost Art Press storefront. There were a lot of details to manage, and a lot of cold weather to weather. But a crew of six guys spent the entire day going over every nook of the building, calling to each other to rework a detail or cover…
Core77 has just published my latest column, which details how I generate ideas for books, furniture, tools and such. It’s free to read, as always.

Katy has been stockpiling soft wax during the last three weeks so she can (hopefully) keep it in stock through the holidays. The tins are $12 plus shipping (calico cat not included). Katy also wants to have some money in her pocket for our holiday trip to Grand Canyon. You have to tip the mules,…
The Lost Art Press storefront will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 10. Feel free to stop by to take a look at the books, check out our two Roman workbenches or just ask woodworking questions. During the last open day we taught people to turn, sharpen and handplane. We…
Katy has cooked up 35 tins of soft wax – the last batch she’ll be able to make this year. If the wax is intended as a Christmas present, you might want to order sooner rather than later. We mail the wax via USPS first class. That service is pretty speedy, but you never know…
