Category: Open Wire

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.

The remaining Open Wire dates for the year are:
April 18
June 20
August 8
October 19
December 12

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

Comments are now closed – if there are any unanswered questions though, we’ll get to them shortly.

It’s Open Wire today, where you can ask Chris about his awkward woodworking gang signs (see above), and any other woodworking questions you might have. (I’ll chime in as time and necessity allow – but I’m teaching a Dutch tool chest class in our shop today, so my internet time is limited.)

Open Wire runs from now until 5 p.m. Eastern. Just type your questions in a comment, and one of us will answer – and you’re welcome to share your knowledge with answers, too! If we don’t get to your question right away, give us a little while, please. Chris is busy building another chair, surprise, and I am busy showing folks how to cut dados and rabbets today.

The Open Wire dates for 2026 are:
February 28
April 18
June 20
August 8
October 19
December 12

Comments are now closed (but Chris will be in the blog back end later to answer the chair questions and any I missed…either on purpose or by mistake.)

You’ll hear mostly from me during the day; Chris will chime in to answer the myriad chair questions, and comment on the tensile strength of wombat poop, after his class ends.

Chris and I are driving to Northern Indiana to pick up a thing…so if you’re wondering why I’m answering many of the chair questions…I’m not. I’m the amanuensis on those. But I’ve you covered on many of the not-chair questions.
