Issue 245 of Furniture & Cabinet Making is now in print, and carries my second article on the problem of “dancing about architecture”. Dancing About Architecture… Part 2 discusses solutions to the problem of “dancing about architecture”, and as an example features the excellent hammer John Switzer of Black Bear Forge mde for me, as well as some fascinating suggestions from Raney Nelson of Daed Tool Works.
Also included in this issue is Raney’s account of the opening weekend of the Lost Art Press store front, and an article on building folding library steps by fellow Anarchist’s Tool Chest survivor Matt Morse.
That hammer is on my very short list. I’m sure it’s in the article (which I’m not sure they sell this side) but is the hammer everything you’ve dreamed about?
In short the hammer is exactly what I wanted, and John’s work comes highly recommended. You won’t regret ordering any of his tools (I also have one of his excellent holdfasts).
