    Getting paid for the "Tim-Will-Lift"

    In early October last year I posted a thread on the "Tim-Will-Lift". The rolling saw lift I built for my BT3000. Someone suggested to send it as a tip to some magazines. So I thought, what the heck, got nothing to loose.
    So I e-mailed some information to the "Wooodworker's Journal" and to "Fine Woodworking". Both acknowledge my e-mail right away, but only "Fine Woodworking" followed up and in December asked for more information and I sent them in essence what I had posted on this forum. Shortly thereafter I got a letter telling me they were going to use it in a future issue, would pay me $100US and would I please sign this release etc.
    So $115Can has gone into my tool piggybank and I just been informed that it is going to be published in the May/June issue.
    Just bragging a bit!

              This is a form of appreciation that money can (and did) buy. You're a celebrity now. Way to go!!!

                  good for you.
                  not only showing a good design but also the presentation is good.

                      That's great!

                      I'll have to keep my eyes out for that issue.

                        Very cool indeed. Will they send you a free issue?

                          As a matter of fact, David, they said, they would. Allthough I just subscribed as well.
                          Thanks all!
