Get the information you need right at your fingertips with Lost Art Press pocket books – you can get all 5!

The 5pocket books are:

”Woodworker’s Pocket Book”

Edited by the great Charles H. Hayward and first published in 1949, ”Woodworker’s Pocket Book”is a guide to everything from finishing recipes to drawing ellipses to choosing the correct screw or nail.

”Workshop Wound Care”

Author, woodworker and emergency room doctor and author Jeffrey Hill has seen every workshop accident in the book…in this book, to be exact. So he knows exactly the information a woodworker needs to know when it comes to injuries. And he presents information in a way that a non-medical professional can easily understand it.

”Sharpen This”

Author Christopher Schwarz cuts through the mystery and fear that surround sharpening and tells you what you need to know, in simple, easy-to-understand instruction. With the help of this book, you’ll quickly get your tools sharp and back to the fun part of woodworking: making them dull.

”Build a Chair from Bulls%$t”

With the instruction of author Christopher Schwarz, you can build a comfortable wooden stick chair using only materials and tools found at your home center. No jigs, no specialty tools and no exotic techniques. Shovel handles and stair handrails can be easily made into chair legs. The seat and headrest come from the construction lumber aisle. The spindles? Dowels. And the curved arm? Plywood.

”Make Fresh Milk Paint’

Nick Kroll takes you through makingyour own fresh milk paint using household materials, a little hydrated lime and anycolour pigment your heart desires. Cost: about $6 for a quart of paint – and 10 minutes’ work.

The pocketbook collection will be added to in the future, with forthcoming books on small projects (perfect for gifts, and for cleaning out your scrap bin), must know joinery and more!

Like all Lost Art Press books, the pocket books are printed and bound in the United States. The text is printed on #70 matte-coated paper (acid free). The pages are gathered into signatures and then sewn together – a step few publishers bother with today. The book block is then glued and reinforced with fibre tape and covered with heavy cloth covered boards. This is a permanent library grade book – designed to last a couple centuries.
