I am not sure if many main stream woodworkers are aware of a tool and finishing supplies retailer that goes by the name "Tools For Working Wood". I have shopped there on many occasions, I purchased my lovely and robust Ray Iles mortising chisels, some finishing supplies, marking gauge and a few other items that they specialize in including environmentally and baby safe finishes. An area of their retail website is dedicated to blogs, there are various blogs for different departments, one blog I especially like and it's updated very frequently, weekly if not more, is a blog called Joel's Blog. Joel loves writing about woodworking history, the people, the tools, the furniture and more. Here is one particular entry that I found interesting, "Things to Sit On in Randle Holme's The Academy of Armory, York, England, 1688". Since I love chairs, and building them, this interested me on a personal level. Things to Sit On in Randle Holme's The Academy of Armory, York, England, 1688 TOOLSFORWORKINGWOOD.COM I've been working on a blog about chairs. As part of my research, I took a closer look at Randle Holmes's 1688 opus, The book is considered the best When you go to Joel's Blog the page kind of looks unorganized, these folks are woodworkers, not website developers, and it appears they created and maintain their own retail website, and I really like the simplicity of the site myself, easy to navigate and easy to find the items you want. They started out as a Museum of woodworking tools, and developed into a retailer. Their brick and mortar location is at: 112 26th St, Brooklyn, NY 11232 They also have classes and special guest stars drop by to host the classes such as Roy Underhill. Here is their original website when they were a tiny museum and just kicking off their website in the early 2000's. Museum of Woodworking Tools - Lobby ANTIQUETOOLS.COM I hope you have fun with it and don't forget to poke around their retail offerings.

I'd like to thank @Gerald for his efforts and great blogging that he just installed. Seems sometimes our blogging feature is a forgotten area of our community, and I am beyond excited that Gerald has taken the steps to install some interesting and very usable content in our blog area.

Trained as a Fine Artist at the University of Maryland, twelve of Lora Susan Irish’s pure breed dog oil paintings have been published as limited edition art prints. Her art has been featured on the front covers of “Doberman Quarterly” 1991, “Samoyed Quarterly” – all four issues of 1991, and “Shetland Sheepdog Quarterly” 1991 published by Hoflin Press.

One of the very first woodworking blogs I ever became interested in is this blog by Kari Hultman, a wonderful craftswoman and artist really, in my opinion she brings hand tooled woodworking to another level of refinement. Kari and I have been social media buddies since the old days of this blog, even though Kari has picked up a new line of work and interest (leather), I still visit her blog frequently. It reminds of a time on the internet when things were just simpler, and straight forward, and her old blog is still live, whenever I visit the blog, a nice cozy warm feeling comes over me, enjoy!
