In between rearranging the shop (again) and finally organizing his chair plans in a new (vintage) lateral file, Christopher will be on hand until around 5 p.m. today to answer all your woodworking questions. And I’ll be on hand, too, until around 2 p.m., and am finally happy to answer: “How’s that Dutch tool chest manuscript coming along?” (The answer is: I’m turning it over to Chris at around 2 p.m., then running far, far away.)

Chris is already hard at work (shocking, I know) on a second LOTR-inspired chair, and I’m belaboring every word in my Dutch tool chest book manuscript. But we’re also here to answer your burning hand-tool woodworking questions. Or cat questions. Or late 19th- early 20th-century Russian literature questions (that’s Chris, not me; he contains multitudes). So post ’em in the comments below, and we’ll answer.
Comments will close at around 5 p.m.

I think the last time these saw vises got used was during Matt Cianci’s last saw sharpening class in our shop. In 2019. We unearthed them from our respective basements for Matt’s class going on today and tomorrow – and we will have our ear plugs at the ready. (It is not a quiet class.) And I will try to talk Matt into taking my super-dull dovetail saw home with him to sharpen. (I have a good saw vise, obviously – but I also have bad astigmatism – I’m not touching my dovetail saw with a saw file!)
Chris and I will be at our computers all day (that’s a lie), ready to answer your woodworking questions (that part is not a lie). You know hos this goes: Post your (succinct) question(s) in the comments field below, and we shall do our best to answer.

This may or may not work. For the last month, our blog has been sinking into madness. Subscribers weren’t receiving emails, our RSS feed was jacked up and this week we started receiving fatal errors whenever we tried to post.
We have lots of technical help, and I hope in the coming week things will be cleared up for good (we are migrating our blog to a self-hosted server with lots of in-person, on-the-phone support). Then I’ll be able to tell you about the final make-room-at-Anthe sale we are now running. And lots of other news.
But until then, our apologies for the weirdness. I hope we will be able to answer your questions today. Let’s give it a go. Write your question in the comment field below, and we will answer it.

Chris is getting ready for a chair class that starts on Monday, and if all goes as planned, I’ll be gluing up panels for a Shaker project…but we’ll be also be online off and on until 5 p.m. to take your woodworking questions. So post ’em in the comments below (as always, brevity is appreciated).
Also, if you’re interested in taking a chair class with Chris, we have two late additions to our Covington Mechanicals Summer/Fall schedule that go on sale Wednesday at noon (Eastern): an Irish chair, Aug. 12-16 and a Welsh-style comb-back Sept. 30-Oct. 4.
