About Christopher Schwarz
What the Hell am I Doing Here?
I’m Christopher Schwarz – friends call me Chris. I’m a furniture maker, writer and toolmaker living in an old German barroom in Covington, Ky. For the last 25 years, I’ve written books, magazine articles and too many blog entries about hand-tool woodworking and running our publishing company, Lost Art Press.
I started writing this substack in 2022 while writing a book with the same name as this blog. Each entry documented some small step in the process.
