Thanks to this group for being such excellent company this weekend. I appreciate your genuine care for each other, serious dedication to the task at hand, fart app, gateau Na Na, intelligence, sense of humor, and eye on the weather with appropriate red crown (sic) commentary. Here’s to safe travels home and I hope our paths will cross again ‘ere long. Massive thanks to @lostartpress for offering me the opportunity to teach this class. It’s an honor to be part of the community of accomplished and generous folks you’ve gathered together.

Students at work. These guys are boring and chiseling away, building plate racks with hand cut dovetails, mortises, and tenons. @jaredmtohlen @horace.gordon.iv @jasantiagomd @thestonestreetcarpentryco @ssouthwood @bjackson010 I’ve spent the last two days prepping stock for this weekend’s plate rack class at the Lost Art Press storefront. A whole lot of poplar—beautiful boards from @frankmillerlumber . I had forgotten how fibrous poplar is to work, as I’m seeing while running through a series of joints to gauge how best to plan out the time. . . #mortiseandtenonjoint #traditionaljoinery #dovetails #exposedjoinery #woodworkingclasses #lostartpress #handmade #womenteachers #weekendclass #weekendclasses
So long, table! Have a wonderful life with @more_joy_of_lex and Erica. And thank you for driving down to pick it up so we could meet each other, Alexi. That was fun. Installation day! The kitchen workbench is home. It was designed to provide storage and prep space in a 1920s kitchen that still has its original Hoosier Manufacturing Company built-ins. This area was a breakfast room, but the current homeowner is a serious baker who needed extra *kitchen* space. The cabinets are based on the original built-ins but incorporate contemporary conveniences such as full-extension slides. The door is hung on traditional butt hinges (yes, all screws are clocked) and the bin pulls are a little wider than usual for an easy grip. The Vitrolite wall tile is original and played a big part in the design. More on this in the book I’m writing for @lostartpress . . . #blumtandemdrawerslides #blum #blumhardware #rejuvenationlightingandhardware #rejuvenationlighting #oldhouselove #1920skitchen #20skitchen #retrodesigns #retrokitchen #kitchenworkbench #boos #butcherblocktable #cookskitchen #bakers
