After Open Wire Live last week in Amana, Iowa, we are happy to be back to the electronic question-and-answer format. (Yes, we loved hugging you in Amana. No, you didn’t smell too awful. And it’s OK about the drool.) Also, people tended to duck every time I yelled “Open Wire!” when I was asked a woodworking question.

So here we go.

Here’s how it works: Type your question in the comment field. I will post my answer. It is that simple.

Note: Comments are now closed for this session!

We are in the Amana Colonies in Iowa this weekend for the Handworks hand tool show. Friday was an insane day of reuniting with thousands of our closest friends.

As a result, we are holding the Lost Art Press Open Wire in Amana – live and in person. Come to the Lost Art Press booth and ask your question. We will do our best to answer. 

Next week we will return to our regular online question-and-answer format here on the blog.
