Just a pointer to go read about Terence McSweeney’s visit to Tamás Gyenes’ house in Hungary. Terence & I met last year when he came to a box-making class I taught in Somerset, England. I was thrilled to hear he made it over to Hungary. What an experience that must have been! I swiped his photo above…but for the real thing, just go see his write up. It says part 1, which implies there’ll be a part 2…thanks, Terence & Tamas.

Lucky man Terence. I recently started making a riven chest and have had a couple of emails with Tamas Gyenes. He is apparently writing a second book which will be translated into English and will describe in detail the construction of the chests.
Here’s a link to my blog if you’d like to see how far I’ve got with making one: http://stevejwalsh.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/riven-ash-chest-or-stollen-truhe.html
