It’s time for our bi-montly Open Wire, where you can pose your woodworking questions in the comments section below and we’ll do our best to answer them. Comments will close at around 5 p.m.
Note that there may be a lag between your asking and our answering. Chris is probably working on a chair, and I’m working on…healing. And editing the revised edition of “The Anarchist’s Tool Chest” (photos for which are happening above).

Chris and I will be eagerly awaiting your woodworking questions this Saturday (April 19) from about 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
On Saturday morning, an “Open Wire” post will go live. If you have a question, all you have to do is type it into the comments and we’ll – eventually – answer (we fit in weekend computer time around bench time).
Readers with relevant info are also welcome to chime in. For example – we sometimes get asked things like, “Where near Flagstaff can I buy purpleheart?” We have no idea – so if you do, please do let the poor misguided* soul who wants to use purpleheart know where they can get it.
Get those questions ready. (And check out the “Open Wire” category in the meantime – there are lots of good questions and answers there already!)
The remaining Open Wire dates for 2025 are:
April 19
June 14
August 9
October 25
December 13

*In all fairness, purpleheart is an excellent choice for a deck and will quickly turn gray/brown, thereby making it tolerable.
