Lost Art Press

The Storefront is Open this Saturday (June 8), 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Posted on by fitz

As on every second Saturday of the month the Lost Art Press storefront is open this Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., for all your book-browsing and woodworking-question needs.

We have the entire line of books on display (as well as a few card scrapers), and they can be purchased with cash, check or credit card. We’re also available to answer questions, demonstrate woodworking techniques and even teach you a skill or two. Kids and pets are always welcome. And for cash or check only, we have available a couple of lump hammer and holdfast “blems” (they work just fine – they’re just not aesthetic perfection) and one or two “blem” books.

Plus, we’ve some quality used tools to sell as well, some of which are pictured in the gallery below. These are cash or check only, and must be inspected/paid for/picked up on site; no shipping, I’m afraid.

If you need some sweetener to get your family to come along, we have one word for you: brunch.

Saturday Brunch in Covington

We are surrounded by some of the best brunch places in the city. Here’s a quick list of our favorites.

Ottos’s. Getting in for brunch at Otto’s is tough on Sundays. Not so much on Saturdays. The lemon ricotta pancakes are amazing, as is the breakfast casserole.

Commonwealth Bistro. We recommend the chilaquiles and the red flannel hash.

Main Street Tavern. As we are furniture makers and writers, we love the bargain brunch at Main Street. Really, everything is great. The waffles are fantastic. The hash special is always good. My personal favorite is the biscuit sandwich with bacon.

Libby’s Southern Comfort. This place just opened. We tried it for lunch and we cannot wait to try brunch.

Coppin’s at Hotel Covington. Breakfast and brunch at Coppin’s is a real treat.

Hope to see you Saturday. We are located at 837 Willard St., Covington, Ky., 41011.

  1. Details on bench planes for sale? Looks like Lie-N #5 and #7, and a Stanley #6. Do you have prices yet?

      1. I don’t think I can make it there this Saturday! But if no one takes the Stanley #6, I’d like it, perhaps for my pickup on a later date or even when I am there in July for your Sawbench class. Will be happy to send a check.

  2. As a Cincinnati expat, I think I’m going to have to start planning my trips back around the 2nd Saturday of the month…Unless you’ll have a special open shop day around Goettafest this year???

    1. Ha! We are a mere two blocks from Glier’s; every day is goetta festive

      1. My St. Louis born kids have become Goetta converts, so we’re taking them this year for the full immersion! Can’t sell them on Skyline…yet

      2. Hello from Philadelphia. If no one buys the 6 and 10 sets would you be willing to ship them if I pay you ….in gold. In all seriousness I’m trying to buy these!

  4. That small Langdon is a steal if I’m reading the price tag correctly!

  5. Awesome box for trim work. I am using it during the interior restoration of a 1880’s narrow gauge passenger car.

  6. I’m unable to make out the cost of those drawbore pins. Would you share, please?

  7. Thanks for telling us to hit the zoo this morning, we were able to check it out. It is a crazy nice zoo!! A lot of cats! We wound up catching the aquarium too, pretty awesome. Cannot wait to try out the new tools!! I seriously felt like a stalker, reading both blog and the talking to you both today. Can I have a piece of hair from you both?!😂🤣. I hope to make it back to ask some “serious” questions, too on edge today!
