A Big, Big Batch of Soft Wax –
My daughter Katy made a huge batch of soft wax during spring break, and you can order it from her etsy.com store here. This is a 100-percent teenager enterprise. She makes it from scratch in my shop, cans it, labels it and ships it out. Then she spends the money on rock music and chicken…
Update on the Chore Coat –
The employees at Dehen 1920 are sewing up the Lost Art Press chore coats, but they are running a bit behind (we don’t know why, I’m afraid). As a result, the chore coats should ship to customers in early May. As soon as we get additional information and exact shipping dates, we’ll share it with…
New Video: ‘Spindle Turning for Furniture with Peter Galbert’ –
Turning spindles for chairs, settees or staircases requires a small set of tools and a focused group of techniques.

The Last Handful of Stickers –
My daughter Maddy says she has about 50 sets of stickers left. So this is the last call for this batch. With Maddy moving to New England, she had to give up her Post Office box in Ohio (if you mail money to the old P.O. box it will be returned to you automatically by…
