To help The Wood Whisperer defend his site against an ongoing DDoS attack, we are auctioning off copies of Lost Art Press’s first book, “The Art of Joinery,” which is out of print and is priced at $500 (ridiculously) on Amazon.
There are three uncirculated, mint copies in this auction. The top three bidders each win one copy. The bidding starts at $17, the original retail price of the book. To bid, leave a comment stating your bid. The auction ends at midnight Sunday, March 11, 2012.
We will ship these books anywhere, and 100 percent of your bid goes to Marc and Nicole Spagnuolo at The Wood Whisperer site – Lost Art Press will pick up the tab for shipping.

Note: Tomorrow we auction off a copy of Charles Hummel’s “With Hammer in Hand,” the fantastic hard-to-find book about the Dominy workshop. The book on auction was donated by a reader of this blog.

sigh…the broken economy won’t allow me to jump in at this price. Guess I’ll order some “may the schwarz be with you” shirts instead as a token to help out. Take this as further interest in an out of print book…
This is awesome. It shows that woodworking can be much more than building furniture. I think Webster should change the definition to- building friendships and building upon others while building furniture out of wood! The community rallies aroung someone in need. Hats off to those of you who are helping Marc and family!!!!!!
$400. And a bag of dirty diapers.
I’ll go to $400.00.
Sorry, no dirty diapers to offer. I am old, but I’m not wearing them yet.
You’re the man now, dog… I mean Chris!
Christopher,
1. I will bid $35.00 on the book on joinery.
2. Thanks for your work on the tools considered for the tool box.
