Though I’ll be in Germany this Saturday, the storefront (at 837 Willard St., Covington, KY.) will be open as scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 10.
Megan Fitzpatrick has volunteered to sell books and answer woodworking questions in my absence. She’ll be selling the entire line of Lost Art Press books, T-shirts, posters and a handful of blemished books for cash at 50 percent off retail (we even have a couple blemished copies of “Roman Workbenches”).
Looking ahead, however, I don’t think we’ll be able to open the storefront on July 8. Megan and I will both be at the Lie-Nielsen Open House in Maine. If I can con someone else to open the store that day, I’ll let you know.
In August we’re planning a special open day (Aug. 12) that will feature a fun evening event with Nancy R. Hiller, author of the great “Making Things Work.” Nancy will perform a reading from the book and sign your copy. Plus she has planned some fun games (she’s making a woodworking piñata). More details to come – but mark your calendars.

No cars makes for a beautiful looking, tree-lined street.
I wonder how it looked when the road was paved with bricks?
I have just received a book of poetry by Liz Berry called “Black Country” ISBN9780701188573 One of the poems is titled “Nailmaking”. I would love to quote it because it is delightful and I am afraid you will have to buy a copy of her book to read it. There are several other references to wood and its working in other poems.
One of these days I’m going to have to visit Cincinnati when the store is open and the Giants are in town playing the Reds.
