Christopher Schwarz is the editor of Popular Woodworking magazine and is a long-time furniture-maker and hand-tool enthusiast. He began working with wood at age 8 when his family members built their first home on their farm outside Hackett, Ark., using hand tools because there was no electricity. After college, Chris became a
newspaper reporter but studied furniture-making at night at the
University of Kentucky. Despite his early experiences with
hand tools on the farm, Chris remains an avid student and
advocate of traditional hand techniques.
Chris writes about hand tools for Popular Woodworking and The Fine Tool Journal and uses them every day in his own work. He has journalism degrees from Northwestern University and The Ohio State University and has worked as a magazine and newspaper journalist since 1990. Chris has two DVDs on traditional tools that were produced in conjunction with Lie-Nielsen Toolworks: "Forgotten Hand Tools" and "Coarse, Medium and Fine." He is currently at work on two new DVDs on scrapers and traditional cabinetry and is writing a book on building and using workbenches. |
