It’s always tricky business talking about upcoming projects because people want updates on their favorites.
So as my e-mail Inbox is sagging from the weight…. Peter Galbert’s book “Windsor Foundations” (still a working title), is still a work in progress. The reason is the drawings. There are hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations that Pete has to finish up.
What you see above is a low-resolution screen capture. These illustrations are going to take his already amazing text to another level. In fact, Pete’s drawings look so good that are re-evaluating the paper stock we’ll be using for the book to better display his handwork.
So Pete’s text is done. A bunch of us have edited it (thanks Raney Nelson, Caleb James and Megan Fitzpatrick in particular). And now Pete has to finish things up so he’s happy with his drawings. He’s shooting for the end of the month.
So don’t send him an e-mail. Don’t attend his workshops at Woodworking in America (kidding). Let the boy draw.
It will be worth the wait.

The drawings look like they’ll be fantastic. While it’s hard to choose which of your upcoming projects I’m looking forward to most, this is definitely a real contender.
Is this going to be a Christmas release or 2015? Very excited about this ons
Speaking of books and paper, I came across this interesting piece that addresses quite a few artistic/esthetic issues related to books and craft. You kmight want to check it out. https://medium.com/message/lets-talk-about-margins-14646574c385
I’ll be buying this one for sure.
Are they (Stanley) still doing that??
Can one preorder?
We don’t have a pre-order system. When the book is available it will be announced here on the blog. We will have plenty of books, so don’t worry about us selling out.
Woohoo! Just sayin’
