Description
On Episode 41 of Why Make? we talk with Christopher Schwarz, a furniture maker, educator, writer and publisher who lives and works from a storefront in Covington, KY. Schwarz is one of the founders and the editor of Lost Art Press, which publishes numerous, high quality books, including the Anarchists Tool Chest, on hand tool woodworking. In 2019, Schwarz triumphantly closed his commission book, and now builds pieces on spec only and sells them via his prolific woodworking blog at Lost Art Press.  We talk with Chris about selling bark jewelry and counter fitting $100 bills as a child, his years as a writer and editor at Popular Woodworking Magazine, his love of vernacular furniture and how woodworking acts a connective fiber in our society.  So sharpen up both your noggin’ and your hand tools and enjoy this mind expanding conversation with Christopher Schwarz!
