Celebrating its 100th volume this week, we wanted to showcase another seminal article from one of the city’s premier craftsmen publications, Got Wood? For the uninitiated, this is a regular periodical that details types of wood, tools of the woodworking trade, and everything you need to know to get started–from selecting your first very plank … Continue reading Got Wood?: “When The Grain is So Wrong, It’s Right!”

A Letter From the Underground, Part One
With the recent hostile takeover by a large, sweeping force known mysteriously as "The Dread", many things have changed in our fair city.

Editor’s Note: An Apology
Yesterday’s edition of the Clearcrest Chronicle had all of the standard news concerning business, politics, gossip, and regular goings-on. However, the most notable component of the paper was the series of unrelated advertisements and third-party announcements that had been stuffed between the pages. Apparently, several Sentry members engaged in delivery duties helped themselves to using … Continue reading Editor’s Note: An Apology
Through The Eyes of a Child
The mind of a child is a wonderous thing. The ephemeral magic which colors the perceptions of the young tends to fade with time, as the reality of adulthood sets in. To recapture some of that creative spirit, the Chronicle hosted a writing workshop, where we asked the children of Clearcrest to write a fantastical … Continue reading Through The Eyes of a Child
