The lightly edited text of Joseph Moxon’s landmark work on joinery – the first English-language text on the topic. We took Moxon’s 17th-century verbiage and removed the long “s” characters, broke up his run-on sentences and added a few words here and there (in brackets) to help the modern reader digest the text more easily.\n\u003cbr\u003e2. Modern commentary on every one of Moxon’s sections on tools and techniques by Christopher Schwarz. Chris has amplified the text with photos that demonstrate many of the processes that Moxon discusses, such as processing stock by hand and cutting mortise-and-tenon joints. And Chris has explained the historical context behind many of Moxon’s explanations, sometimes supporting his conclusions; sometimes taking issue with them. In this revised edition, Chris has expanded some of his commentary and revised some assessments based on new information.\n\u003cbr\u003e3.

His best-selling books – starting with “A Cabinetmaker’s Notebook” – inspired tens of thousands of people to pick up the tools and build things to the highest standard.Yet, little is known about his life, except for a few details mentioned in his books.After years of research and more than 150 interviews, Brendan Bernhardt Gaffney has produced the first and definitive biography of Krenov, featuring historical documents, press clippings and hundreds of historical photographs. Gaffney traces Krenov’s life from his birth in a small village in far-flung Russia, to China, Seattle, Alaska, Sweden and finally to Northern California where he founded the College of the Redwoods Fine Woodworking Program (now The Krenov School).“James Krenov: Leave Fingerprints” brims with the details of Krenov’s life that, until now, were known only to close friends and family. The book begins by examining the noble origins of Krenov’s mother in Russia, and her flight into the wilderness during the country’s revolution. After Krenov is born among the Chukchi at a trade outpost, the Krenovs flee to Shanghai and then the United States. After time in Alaska and Seattle, Krenov heads to Sweden where he works in a factory and tries to get his writing published.While in his 30s, he attends Carl Malmsten’s school and transforms – in just a few short years – into an accomplished woodworker with a national reputation. He then attracts international recognition for his attention to grain, his love of joinery and his sensitive approach to the craft.Eventually Krenov’s words came to America, he publishes “A Cabinetmaker’s Notebook” and the woodworking world has never been the same. After the establishment of the College of the Redwoods program in Fort Bragg, California, the word “Krenovian” enters the lexicon of design to describe his type of work and the work of the students that carried on their teacher’s methods.Though Krenov is revered by readers and many students, he was also known for his irascible nature and pointed criticism. Gaffney’s book takes pains to paint a fully realized portrait of Krenov, neither a hagiography nor a hatchet job. Interviews, letters, press clippings and archival photographs present a man who did not compromise in his work. And that lack of compromise created both great works and personal difficulties.In addition to biographical details, Gaffney’s book presents a gallery of Krenov’s work from his very early pieces all the way up to the last cabinet he built. Many of these pieces have never been published, and they illustrate how Krenov continued to grow as a designer even after he stopped writing books.Whether you are a furniture maker, a designer or a student of craft history, “James Krenov: Leave Fingerprints” will deepen your understanding of and appreciation for a man who single handedly changed the course of woodworking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LOST ART PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47815258407187,"sku":"B-1733391672","price":99.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2727\/5283\/files\/B-1733391672.jpg?v=1705990729"},{"product_id":"make-a-chair-from-a-tree-jennie-alexander","title":"Book - Make a Chair from a Tree: Third Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, Jennie Alexander somewhat reluctantly agreed to a third edition of her 1978 seminal book on green woodworking, “Make a Chair From a Tree” – a book that launched the careers of thousands of woodworkers and helped ignite a green woodworking movement in this country.\n\u003cbr\u003eHer reluctance wasn’t due to a lack of passion for the book’s subject – the simple but gorgeous object that we now call a Jennie Chair had been an obsession of hers for decades.

Larry polished Jennie's final manuscript, then built a chair in Jennie's shop using her techniques and tools as we took many of the photographs for this book. Nathaniel Krause (another of Jennie’s devoted students), wove the hickory seat for this book. Longtime friend and collaborator Peter Follansbee helped to edit the text into the intensely technical (but easy to understand) and personal (but not maudlin) words that ended up in this third edition.We know Jennie would be delighted by the contributions from the people she taught and who, in turn, inspired her.

The chairs they made weren’t designed to impress the neighbors – they were designed to be comfortable, stout and (if you have a good eye) nice to look at.\n\u003cbr\u003eAfter 18 years of building vernacular stick chairs and studying historical examples in the U.K., Europe and North America, author Christopher Schwarz has figured out how anyone can design and build these chairs without a lot of gear.\n\u003cbr\u003eHere are the things you don’t need to build a stick chair: a shavehorse, drawknife, steambox, green wood, axe or even a passing knowledge of geometry.\n\u003cbr\u003eInstead, most of the work is done with saws (a band saw speeds things up), a drill or brace, a jack plane and maybe a couple specialty tools if you want to saddle the chair’s seat. You can use any kind of wood, even stuff from the home center.\n\u003cbr\u003e“The Stick Chair Book” is divided into three sections. The first section, “Thinking About Chairs,” introduces you to the world of common stick chairs, plus the tools and wood to build them.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe second section – “Chairmaking Techniques” – covers every process involved in making a chair, from cutting stout legs, to making curved arms with straight wood, to carving the seat. Plus, you’ll get a taste for the wide variety of shapes you can use. The chapter on seats shows you how to lay out 14 different seat shapes. The chapter on legs has 16 common forms that can be made with only a couple handplanes. Add those to the 11 different arm shapes, six arm-joinery options, 14 shapes for hands, seven stretcher shapes and 11 combs, and you could make stick chairs your entire life without ever making the same one twice.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe final section offers detailed plans for five stick chairs, from a basic Irish armchair to a dramatic Scottish comb-back. These five chair designs are a great jumping-off point for making stick chairs of your own design.\n\u003cbr\u003eAdditional chapters in the book cover chair comfort, finishing, sharpening the tools and answering the most common questions asked by new chairmakers.By Christopher Schwarz\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LOST ART PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47815258669331,"sku":"B-1954697034","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2727\/5283\/files\/B-1954697034-1.jpg?v=1705990733"},{"product_id":"shop-tails-nancy-hiller","title":"Book - Shop Tails: The Animals Who Help Us Make Things Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this singular collection of essays, Nancy Hiller relates the ways in which non-human animals – some companions, others wild or raised on farms – have provided warmth and comfort, prompted laughter and offered examples of courage or composure in the face of distressing events.\n\u003cbr\u003e“Shop Tails” is a loving tribute to the animals whose lives have been intertwined with Hiller’s own and taught her lessons about relationships, loyalty, illness, joy, death and (also important) pudding.

Author and workbench builder Scott Landis visited dozens of craftsmen, observing them at work and listening to what they had to say about their benches. The result is an intriguing and illuminating account of each bench’s strengths and weaknesses, within the context of a vibrant woodworking tradition.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe workbench is the heart of the workshop. Like the foundation of a house, a bench must be built with care because it reflects and supports all the work that takes place on top. Probably more than any other tool in the shop, the custom workbench reflects the personality and experience of its maker. For those woodworkers who want to undertake building their own bench, \"The Workbench Book\" offers valuable advice on design, construction and special features such as vise options.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis fully illustrated guide features more than 275 photos of beautifully crafted workbenches as well as complete plans for four benches. \"The Workbench Book\" explores benches from around the world, from every historical era and for all of the common (and esoteric) woodworking specialties.This new 248-page hardbound edition from Lost Art Press ensures \"The Workbench Book\" will be available to future generations of woodworkers. Produced and printed in the United States, this classic text is printed on FSC-certified recycled paper and features a durable sewn binding designed to last generations. The 1987 text remains the same in this edition and includes a foreword by Christopher Schwarz.\n\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author\n\u003cbr\u003eScott Landis built his first workbench in the early 1970s in a friend’s shop in Maine, where he discovered many of the essential tools and techniques of woodworking. Since then, he has been a professional benchmaker, log house builder, and freelance writer, chronicling the disappearing traditional occupations of the North. He returned to woodworking as the author of The Workbench Book (1987) and The Workshop Book (1991), first published by Taunton Press. Scott went on to write numerous essays and articles about woodworking and wood use, and their intersection with responsible forest management. He founded the nonprofit Woodworkers Alliance for Rainforest Protection (WARP) and organized the traveling exhibition Conservation by Design, launched in collaboration with the Rhode Island School of Design.A WARP field project in Honduras eventually led to his establishment of GreenWood, which was recognized in 2014 with the first-ever Innovation Prize awarded by the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. GreenWood continues to employ appropriate woodworking technologies and creative niche marketing in support of sustainable forest management and economic development. The organization has trained artisan woodworkers in the Peruvian Amazon and works extensively in Honduras and Puerto Rico.
