The traveling version of the “Anarchist’s Tool Chest” atop my full-size version. In Autumn of 2019, Nicole Spagnuolo emailed to ask if I’d like to record a video for The Wood Whisperer Guild. “Sure!” I said, forgetting – in my delight and honor for having been asked – that I vehemently dislike being on camera….
When David Charlesworth made his first trip to the United States, he flew into the cornfields of Indiana all jetlagged and hungry. So we took him out to eat.

I hope I don’t get in trouble for stealing this screenshot. Woodworker, writer, whisky-lover, actor and all-around renaissance man Nick Offerman has a new twice-a-week Substack newsletter, “Donkey Thoughts,” in which he hopes, he writes, to be sometimes useful and “at least relatively amusing.” Having read (nay, devoured) all of Nick’s books; I have no…
The exterior of the partial mansard-roof building. Though the paint job is new, we’ll be repainting it in more historically appropriate colors. Don’t you hate how every Lost Art Press project takes years to complete? Me too. After more than three years of work, Lucy and I have found a building for Lost Art Press…
