Comments are now closed. If we’ve not yet answered your question, we’ll get to it soon! Join us again on October 10.

Welcome to Lost Art Press Open Wire, where until 5 p.m. Eastern, you can ask any and all woodworking questions and questions about Lost Art Press, our cats, Shakespeare (me), Late 19th/early 20th-century Russian literature (Chris), and we and your fellow readers will do our best to answer. Simply post your questions in the comments section below.

Note that there might be a lag between your questions and our answers. Chris is busy building a chair, and I am working on my kitchen renovation.

The remaining Open wire dates for 2026 are:
October 10
December 12

Welcome to Lost Art Press Open Wire, where until 5 p.m. Eastern, you can ask any and all woodworking questions, and we and your fellow readers will do our best to answer. Simply post your questions in the comments section below. But there’s a caveat today: Chris is getting ready to head to the airport this afternoon for an overseas teaching gig, so if you have a chair question or headache-inducing metallurgy question, best to ask before lunchtime. After that, I will simply quote at you from “The Stick Chair Journal” et al for all chair-related questions, and tell you to consult someone who cares about the specific constituent metal amounts in a given alloy (I just care if they are relatively easy to sharpen and can hold an edge).

The remaining Open wire dates for 2026 are:

Got a woodworking question, a query about dog holes (which Kale is drilling above, for their new tail vise) or are curious to know what’s on the horizon at Lost Art Press? Today is your lucky day!

You have until 5 p.m. Eastern to pose your question in the comments section below, and we’ll respond. And it’s possible your fellow readers will have answers, too – and perhaps you’ll have an answer for someone else!

Got a woodworking question or a query about what’s happening at Lost Art Press? It’s your lucky day – it’s time for Open Wire!

You have until 5 p.m. Eastern to pose your question in the comments section below, and we’ll respond – hopefully with a informed and useful answer…but no promises on that front. Also, we stayed out late at a concert so we might not start answering until a wee bit late.

Note: Comments are now closed for this session. See you in April.
