Along with being a practicing furniture maker and woodworker, Chris has spent a significant part of his career as a writer. He has served as editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine, written numerous other books, and now fosters Lost Art Press.In our conversation, we discuss the history of campaign furniture, the challenges of designing for the outdoors, and specific applications such as book cases, chairs, secretaries, and even secret compartments. In the end, we get a primer on how furniture relates to travel and adventure.

Christopher Schwarz joins us again to answer the 5 Questions. Find out about Chris's favorite tools, biggest influences, and the all important unicorn bevel. Check it out!

Christopher Schwarz's book on workbenches is in my opinion the best book a new hand tool woodworker can buy as they embark on the somewhat daunting process of designing and building their first (or second, or third ...) workbench. Join me on the podcast as I review this book and take you through all the reasons why you should add this to your library.

In the final review of my three plane books, we cover off Christopher Schwarz's classic - Handplane Essentials. Its an eclectic mix of history, techniques and philosophy delivered in the author's great style!

In this episode I go through what I consider to be one of the best hand tool overall books - The Anarchist's Tool Chest by Christopher Schwarz. If you're into hand tool woodwork and you haven't bought a copy yet, I'd suggest you listen to the podcast and find out why this is an essential addition to your library. You can buy the book from Lost Art Press here: https://lostartpress.com/products/the-anarchists-tool-chest

This little stool is taken from the pages of Christopher Schwarz' book "Campaign Furniture".  It is make from riven Teak with a Shellac and Beeswax finish.  The hardware is from Lee Valley and the gorgeous leather seat is from TX Heritage Woodworks.

The H.O. Studley Tool Chest is considered by many to be THE "Iconic Tool Chest," the very tool chest that all others are compared to, and the envy of every woodworker who set their eyes upon it. [caption id="attachment_12920" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Image courtesy Don's Barn blog[/caption] On the outside it's constructed of a gorgeous Cuban Mahogany, but it’s the meticulousness of the organization on the inside that sets it apart from everything. When opened, it reveals the breathtaking layout and arrangement of the 240+ tools contained within. All of which add to the beauty and awe-inspiring effect the tool chest has on those who’ve seen it. But who was H.O. Studley? Truthfully, we know more about the chest than the man who built it. And what about the lesser known Studley workbench? Have you ever seen it up close or even knew it existed ("Chortle"-level Patrons of Matt's Basement Workshop will get a look at it in the bonus footage accompanying this video, join today by clicking here?) Those, and many more questions were what Don Williams set out to answer in his upcoming book about H.O. Studley and his tool chest, due out in early 2015. Don, along with photographer Narayan Nayar, and Christopher Schwarz of Lost Art Press are painstakingly documenting the man, his tools, and of course his tool chest, so the rest of us can understand who he was and what’s so amazing about this iconic piece of woodworking history. Along the journey to write the book and document the tool chest, Don made arrangements with the current owner to set up an exhibit for the general public to come in and see it up close. The H.O. Studley Tool Chest and Workbench Exhibit is happening May 15-17, 2015 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It’s occurring the same weekend as Handworks in nearby Amana, Iowa and will be offering visitors a full 360º view of the tool chest and workbench. Tickets are currently on sale, but there is a limited number available. So don’t miss out on the opportunity to see the Studley Tool Chest in person.
