Our last 2025 Open Wire – your chance to post any and all woodworking questions and get answers from Chris, me and fellow readers – is this Saturday from around 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Eastern. (And this time, it’ll be mostly Chris during the day, as I’ll be teaching a Dutch tool chest class, and will chime in as time and necessity allows.
The Open Wire dates for 2026 are:
February 28
April 18
June 20
August 8
October 19
December 12

October 19, 2026 is a Monday?
Mr. Chris, in a video with “Wood by Wright,” you said that you were working on a Wood Turning Book. From that video as well you collect books for the subject you are working on. I have couple of Wood turning books that have an original publish date of 1958. Nevertheless, I would be very happy to send them too you and if it turns out that you already have them in your collection, putting them into on of those road side library boxes would be fine. I want Zero compensation. Just clearance to ship them too ya.
Thanks Andrew. The book we are working on has already been written by Jarrod Dahl. We are just waiting for him to put the finishing touches on it so we can start editing it.
All of the videos I could find online of the Anarchist’s Workbench show it being built rather than being used. I’m looking for a tour of the features in use. Do you know of any such video?
It’s hard to believe you used to do Open Wire every Saturday. That was nuts! Or did that happen in a different universe that I slipped out of? That seems to be happening to me a lot.
Ooh… very well then. I’ll patiently await for that book’s release.
