Be sure to stop by the Lost Art Press booth at Woodworking in America next week. We won’t have a workbench in our booth (I loaned all mine to the event’s organizers). Nor will we have any booth babes (maybe next year).
But we will have a few surprises.
At the top of that list is that we will have Don Williams, the mastermind behind the massive André Roubo translation project and the author of the forthcoming book on H.O. Studley, the piano maker with the legendary tool chest and almost-as-cool workbench.
Don will be hanging out in our booth answering questions about Roubo and Studley and what he’s learned about both men through his research. And if you are nice to him, he might even show you some photos and etchings….
Don will be around the Northern Kentucky Convention Center for most of the event, but if you want to make sure to talk to him, drop by our booth at 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday and 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

That is a great photo – for all the times I have seen shots of the cabinet, I have never seen one of it in sito, nor one of Studley himself.
Every one of these posts makes me more excited about going to the Metropolitan Club next Saturday night.
I am all tingly thinking abot Don Williams’ Studley book. Is that Lost Art Press?
This is going to be a fantastic, unprecedented year for great books.
I can not wait for the H.O. Studley book !
Thanks for shaeing the photo. Great to finally see the man. I will be buying the book on Studley. Would you know what is the cabinet behind him on the picture?
Unless I am very much mistaken, that is the cabinet he is now famous for:
