We went to the Marin County Fair yesterday and I was thrilled to observe the popularity of my "decorated chair" entry. My intention was to challenge peoples notions of  art exhibits and get them involved. The fair has thousands and thousands of entries in hundreds of competitive art categories. As far as I know, mine was the only one that asked the viewer to get involved and be part of the exhibit by writing on it and posting photos of themselves on Instagram using #iminthechair.
It was fun to see people spending lots of time writing on it. It is completely covered with graffiti: I cant wait to bring it home and read all the messages. Gotta give credit to the Fair officials who seem to have had no problem letting people do more than just touch my exhibit, although the noisy flamingo squeak toy is missing. I cant help but wonder if it will be back on the chair when I pick it up.

At Last!!!

Well after waiting for what seems like months, sending several emails regarding UK availability and keeping a close eye on the Lost Art Press website & blog and finally monitoring stock levels of it on Axminster Tools, its finally mine - At Last!!!

The Anarchist Toolchest by Chris Schwarz - The Modern Day Godfather of hand tool woodworking.

I cant wait to get stuck into this book and I will do my best NOT to review it, as it seems the whole woodworking world and his wife has already done so...

So what else have I been spending money on ...

Just a few stocking fillers from Axminster Tools - not that I wear stockings...

• 2x Large Old fashioned Carpenters Hand Screws
• Veritas Card Scraper set of 4
• Veritas Gimlet set of 7
• Kirschen Burnisher to sharpen the Cabinet Scrapers
• Crown Adjustable Square
• 12" Center Finding Rule

I also purchased a set of 6" and 4" dividers on Ebay. These dividers have a more reliable screw adjustment. I was given my current pair which are from an old trigonometry set that move while in use, unless you are extremely careful with them.

 

Aside from a few luxury items, I should be able to control my hand tool fetish for a while - at least until I have read about the 50 essential tools in the Anarchist Toolchest...
