A handout unasked for. While visiting the Lost Art Press storefront yesterday and dropping off some book-related materials I stopped to admire the spoons @burnheartmade was carving and fell in love with this one. I asked if I could buy it, but he wouldn’t sell it to me. Instead, he gave it to me. We love this little guy, Brendan! He now lives on a shelf of the sideboard in our living room. (Fun detail: I snapped Brendan sitting on the Chester Cornett-inspired desk rocking chair he’s just about finished.) . . #handcarved #lostartpress #handtoolwoodworking #cincinnati #bestbusinesses No comment. . . @anissakaps
Going back to go forward. I’ve had the parts for this little Arts & Crafts wall shelf stashed under the tablesaw outfeed table since 2006, when they were props for a @finewoodworkingmagazine article (the first time @anissakaps and I worked together). I need some pieces to take to the Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts show in February, so it’s time to finish some pieces and open up some space in my shop. . . #useit #artsandcraftsfurniture #groveparkinn #artsandcraftsconference Happy news on a dreary day. Making Things Work is now available in a new imprint from Lost Art Press. Thanks to @lostartpress and @1snugthejoiner for their work on this, especially the jacket design and photography. (This bowl of pasta looks better than anything Mark or I would make most evenings.) You can buy a copy from Lost Art Press (link in profile).
This, too, is woodworking. One of the benefits of knowing how to make things is being able to respond in an emergency—even if the emergency isn’t serious. About ten years ago my step-son and I were making cookies and found ourselves without a rolling pin. So we went to the shop and turned one. . . #woodworking #makeyourown #holidaybakingseason #cookies #savemefrommyself It’s hard to believe that my tubby tabby was once tiny enough to treat this long suffering fern as a trampoline. He dove into it again last night, but for some reason it no longer bounces. 🤷‍♀️ . . #tbt #shopcats #theygrowupsofast
