Today I shipped off a couple hundred pounds of Lost Art Press books to Axminster, a leading woodworking supplier in the United Kingdom. The company will stock Robert Wearing’s “The Essential Woodworker” and copies of “The Anarchist’s Tool Chest.”
So look for those products in the Axminster 2012 catalog and on the company’s web site in the near future.
Also, F+W Media Inc. will be carrying three Lost Art Press books: “The Essential Woodworker,” “The Joiner & Cabinet Maker” and “The Anarchist’s Tool Chest.” All three products should show up shortly in the company’s web site: ShopWoodworking.com.
I am actively working on a supplier in Greenland and Monaco. More on that as it develops.
Thanks to all our international customers for their patience. We know it’s has been a hard slog to get our products, and now that I am a hobo self-employed, we will be making more strides in this area soon.

A hobo? Mr. Schwarz has gone from “working for a living” to “working even harder for a living”, it seems to me. This may be the beginning of a good country & western song.
You’re selling through Axminster?! Then you just got yourself some sales from me.
Can you provide for your family on a Hobo’s pittance?
Kenny,
We shall see. The good news is that we paid off our mortgage four years ago. So we have no debt. The bar is pretty low for this hobo.
Chris,
Well with the quality of your books and information on woodworking products I am sure you will continue to prosper. I know I have been enlightened by a lot of your knowledge concerning working with hand tools. Keep up the good work, and thank you.
Good to see that your excellent books will now be more readily available in the UK
Great !!
:o)
(but no joiner&cabinetmaker at axminster ? :o(
Willem,
We can only send them what they ordered. Let Axminster know you’d like them to stock it!
How about Germany? Still no distributor for lost art press?
Dicktum in Metten carries “The Anarchist’s Tool Chest.” if you want them to carry the rest of our books, do mention it to them.
Sweet! Axminster are about 2 miles from my day job.
Of course, you could start selling directly to overseas customers from your website. Avoiding the middle-man will help sustain the hobo lifestyle to which you are becoming accustomed!
