Olde Tool Workshop

No Tool Like an Olde Tool

ATC Part 2 – Glue and Skirts

Day 2 of the Anarchist’s Tool Chest (ATC) build.

To start today’s blog, I’m going to talk a bit about the workshop at Lost Art Press (LAP). This place is very special. Yes — special, special in a really good way. The folks at LAP have poured a lot of love, energy and obviously money into this place. The attention to details and the design choices complement this old structure. Each space in the first floor and the outside machine shop are set up with woodworking and efficiency in mind. They have turned a smelly, dank old bar into a beautiful and fully functional residence and workshop where they can ply their trade. It’s a real pleasure to work in such a historical and functional space. I would not hesitate to go back and take another class at this magical place. The people, the smell of wood and general atmosphere are very inviting. Also, they have the best coffee and pastries. The pastries come from local bakeries and are delicious. There are many local restaurants to choose from for lunch and dinner. This place was such a pleasure to visit.
