About Chris Schwarz

Chris Schwarz is a furniture maker and writer who works from a German barroom built in 1896 in Covington,  Kentucky. He is one of the founders of Lost Art Press, a book-publishing company that specializes in handwork,  and Crucible Tool, a company that makes hand tools for woodworkers. 


Chris is the former editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine and the author of several books, including  Workbenches: From Design & Theory to Construction & Use (F+W Media), The Anarchist’s Tool Chest,  Campaign Furniture, The Anarchist’s Design Book, and Ingenious Mechanics (Lost Art Press). 


In addition to his publishing efforts, he builds casework and Welsh stick chairs for clients all over the world.  Additionally, he’s been an instructor at numerous woodworking schools, including The Marc Adams School of  Woodworking, The Woodwright’s School, The Furniture Institute of Massachusetts, Port Townsend School of  Woodworking, as well as woodworking schools in Canada, Germany, Australia, and England

About the Class

This program is geared to hand tool purists, building both traditional or contemporary creations, but any  woodworker will enjoy this information-packed workshop. 


Chris will be building a Dutch Tool Chest over the two-day seminar. Construction of this chest will include a  discussion of design as well as effective building techniques and details. He'll cover typical techniques he  practices daily in building his projects and teaching his classes. These techniques include cutting dovetails,  dados, tongue and groove joinery, rabbets, and the use of cut nails. He will be hand-sawing and truing up the  boards with hand planes. During this process, there will be lots of opportunity to discuss topics such as tool sharpening, work holding techniques, tool setup, and much more. 


We'll end each day with a short presentation by Chris on  several different topics. We'll cover:

  • Chair design (including a showcase of his Welsh stick chairs)
  • History of workbenches

Schedule 

This seminar will be held on: 

Saturday, May 21, 2022 from 8:30am-6pm 

Sunday, May 22, 2022 from 8:30am-6pm
