In the Interim, 2013

14 February 2013

2013 marks two major anniversaries: the beginning of the company's foray into publishing "how-to" materials (1963) and our purchase of the ultimate "do-it-yourself" project...the historic Cambria/Christiansburg Depot (1983).

We've started a new year, officially our 50th Year in publishing, here at Dorsett Publications, nee Dorsett Miniatures. In honor of our 50th year in business, we are offering some terrific deals (see our online catalog for details). We are now volumes years short of finishing the complete index for all 20 years of The Scale Cabinetmaker and hope to have TSC Volumes 11-20 available this year. Watch our front page for release announcements.

We also have a major project in the works, a project Helen Dorsett started before her death in 1990...the ultimate series of beginner's books. Her original design drew on projects from TSC, but included all of the tips and tricks of the trade she collected over her 30+ years in the business. Many of her tips were jotted down on random scraps of paper and filed away. In November, we started harvesting all of her materials that were long ago collected and stored in boxes in the guest room closet. We hope to have the first three volumes of the workbench series (Jim's Shop Notes, Measurement, and Finishes) ready to go by June 1st. Unlike the other books, these will be published in electronic format and can be delivered via the internet (a step towards cutting down the price of production and shipping.

Time to get back to work...
