Here are a few quick updates on things you might care about.
- “Calvin Cobb: Radio Woodworker!” by Roy Underhill will ship from the printer on Nov. 10. So we’ll be getting that out in plenty of time for Christmas (whew). As I mentioned yesterday, the “Book of Plates” is a wee bit delayed at the bindery. So if you want that book for Christmas, please place your order as soon as possible.
- Sweatshirts are back in stock, except for the XXLs. Those will be in stock next week. As to sizes, take a look at the charts provided by American Apparel for the sweatshirt here. Some people are reporting they fit a bit snug. I haven’t found that to be the case, and I’m on my second washing.
- George Walker, one of the authors of “By Hand & Eye” is teaching a class at The Woodworkers Club in Rockville, Md., on Nov. 3-4. And there are a few openings. Want to be a better designer? Talk to George. Details here.
- Peter Galbert is depleting the world’s supply of pencils with his new book. If you want a peek at the illustrations, follow him on Instagram here.

When is Peter Ross’s new Blacksmithing DVD coming out ?
Wearing my PWM hat…Late December, then another in March 2015.
Glad to see you have Red Hair again….
I should get a new head shot…
American Apparel is definitely aimed at the hipster crowd, and their fits are usually on the “snug” side – you’re supposed to be getting the skinny latte, right? I live next to their flagship store in Echo Park, and have to look at their decidedly creepy/child porn billboards all day. Love the “buy American” slant, but it’s kind of like, “Support American Publishing – Buy More Juggs!”
Will “Calvin Cobb: Radio Woodworker!” be available in Canada through Lee Valley Tools? How about the sweatshirt?
Yes, “Calvin Cobb” will be carried by Lee Valley. The sweatshirts, however, are not I’m afraid.
