The Essential Woodworker for $10
If you have any interest in hand work in woodworking, a wonderful introduction is The Essential Woodworker by Robert Wearing. This formerly out-of-print book was brought back by Lost Art Press a while back and is now being offered as a DRM-free ePub for $10 with a Kindle version coming soon.
This book is my go to reference whenever I have a question on how to build a piece of carcase furniture. It also includes some nice exercises to help learn essential hand tool skills, like planing a board flat and sawing accurately. It’s finely written, well edited and quite clear. For $10, you cannot go wrong.
The hard cover edition is also available for $23.
An Art Fair staple, stuff on a stick!

I got a nice surprise for Father’s Day, Mandy picked up the Kitchen-Aid ice cream maker I’d linked to previously as a present and we made up our first batch of vanilla yesterday.
It works great, pulling just the right amount of air into the mix. We let it ripen overnight and enjoyed a great bowl of ice cream with lunch. Mandy also picked up this book on ice creams, where I got the recipe. I think the Aztec chocolate is up next, just need to find some Dutch Process cocoa.
