    Magazines - Where do you keep them?

    I have a bunch of magazines that I don't want to get rid of. But I need to find a place for them. No room for another bookcase. Where do you keep yours?

    I usually stack them until one day I decide too much is too much and I get rid of them. A day later I usually need one of them...

      My neighbor, the fine wood worker, has a file cabinet in his shop that has every edition of Wood and WoodSmith magazine he has received, and they're all indexed

      Mine are in a box on a shelf in my shop.

        A few years back, Shopnotes released their magazines on a cd. I wish all of our magazines would do this.

        My father keeps claiming, that someday he will scan them all in and index and burn his onto a dvd.

            Hint: give your old magazines to your neghbor. Then when you need one, you can go to his place and he'll find it for you.

                The only ones I keep are ShopNotes.

                I figure I'll be gone before I reach the end of the shelf

                  I want to build wooden files for mine, and a bookcase to hold them. Meanwhile I use the shelves behind the doors in this that I just finished last month.

                    I keep the issues of Shopnotes in binders in my shop. The others, I cut out things of interest and keep them in plastic sheet covers in a couple of binders labeled with the type of project. They still pile up on my office desk until I do this about every 3-4 months as the pile gets too big.
                    Between the magazines and woodworking catalogs and flyers the pile gets big quickly.

                      I also wish that magazines would send out a CD/DVD at the end of your annual subscription with an electronic copy of the issues that you subscribed to.

                      I store my woodworking magazines in milk crates, arranged by magazine and in issue# order. When I see a project / idea that I could see myself doing in the future, I fold over the page, so that it makes a tab at the top. That may sound stupid, but whenever I have a project come to mind and I think "I know that I saw that in a magazine a couple of years ago.." - I'm almost always able to find the magazine article within a few minutes.

                      The milk crates are stacked on a shelf in my garage that is about 6' high. High enough that they're not in the way, but accessible without much difficulty.

                        I keep my theatre-related mags in those cardboard magazine holders from Office Whatever. These travel to and from school with me from time to time. My woodworking mags are in Amazon boxes in my shop, sorted by title. Under a pile of sawdust.

                        One of my projects this summer is make some sort of covered magazine case for the mags in the shop...

                          I have ShopNotes vol 1 thru 86 plus some random plans thrown in here and there stored on a single DVD.

                            That's my method exactly. Copy that. You have to have at least a book and a couple magazines beside EVERY toilet right ?? haha

                              What magazines are you reading?

                              Any opinion on what magazines are worth the time to read and collect?
