Chris, did you ever think that woodworking would take you down the path of an archaeologist? Very exciting and interesting work for hand tool aficionados everywhere. I for one think that what is being done would be equivalent to induction into the hall of fame for woodworkers and Studley would be astonished that his tool box has garnered such fame and study.

Wow, I sense a sequel to “The Anarchist’s Tool Chest”. Maybe “The Obsessive Compulsionist’s Tool Chest”.

Please make sure it includes plans and a cut list

Man, Chris you have the worst job ever. I don’t know how you manage the drudgery of it all. Oh well, keep a stiff upper lip and solder on. Tomorrow’s a new day.

My only question is:
Can I pre-order the book yet?

Moving Stuff, an often overlooked, yet vital role. I find myself in that role most days around the house.

Also, PLEASE don’t tell me that this book will be title “The Conformist Toolchest”

Interesting the levels of occultation with in the chest. Wonder if there is some symbolical significance to this?

I say take your time and get it right. Meanwhile, the photos you have been posting are unlike anything most of us have ever seen. They will certainly hold my attention. Now, if you think you have begun to identify Studley’s working fingerprints, do you think there is any chance of tracking down a piano or organ case as a comparison? No doubt such objects were a group effort and certainly anonymous, but just on the off chance, it would be instructive to see what Studley’s day-job work was like.

Hi Chris,
What’s the chance of getting a nice high resolution photo out soon so that I can make a nice A3 print and hang it in my office while I wait for the Book to be completed?
I’m happy to pay for it, maybe you could offer it up on the LAP website.
Thanks, Stephen Halliday (UK)

A number of years ago I bought a poster of that tool chest and I was amazed and in awe. It still amazes me whenever I look at it. Now I am really looking forward to the book. I’m ready to be amazed again.
