2 things came in yesterdays mail.
1. An offer from Wood Magazine, obviously trying to get me back as a subscriber. I stopped quite a few years ago as although the tool articles and reviews were interesting much of the project related content I found pretty basic and after a while you see the same things coming around. The offer seems rather good though so I am tempted. Basically it is pay for one year and get 2 years FREE. $24 + $5.99 so $30 total for 3 years. Plus they throw in 2 of their books (shop projects & tablesaw jigs) I think they only have 7 issues per year but it seems worth another try. If any of you have been a recent subscriber can you comment on their recent content?
2. The Highland Woodworking fall catalogue was also there and we may have discussed this before but do you find the very dense essentially monochrome format annoying? I am very happy to sit and browse various woodworking related tool and accessories catalogues while eating or watching TV but with so much high quality color material from most vendors I find it very odd the HWW choose this format as I find it mostly unreadable and it goes in the trash. Is this just me?
