Tool Chest of Benjamin Seaton

The second edition of the book The Tool Chest of Benjamin Seaton is available for pre-order from the Astragal Press. 

Did I order my copy before posting this? You bet I did. :o)

This is a reproduction of the Seaton chest built by
the cabinetmakers at Colonial Williamsburg.

    Those of you who want to support the organization responsible for printing this book should join TATHS. You get the book for free if you are a member! And the membership costs about the same as the price of the book through Astragal.

    Kari, I wouldn't worry. I'm planning to buy a spare through Astragal, just in case... I've been wanting a copy of the 1st edition for some time and I can imagine the demand for the 2nd being huge at some point in the future.

    Buying from Astragal is great too, because then you're supporting a publisher who publishes books that I want to read.
