Woodworking Magazine Announcement

[Jeffrey Schronce]

Woodworking Magazine has announced that they will be making an announcement. LOL! It appears they will be announcing a subscription for Woodworking Magazine. WW Magazine is a sister publication of Popular Woodworking. WW Magazine has no advertising and is headed by Christopher Schwartz. It is currently published 4 times per year and is very highly regarded.

The bargin part is that you can download a full issue for free on their home page.

This will give you a taste to see if you like the format, material, etc.

I have gotten several wood working magazine offers in the mail this year. I guess they are going through their Christmas buying lists that they buy from Amazon or something.

This is an excellent magazine; I have the first seven issues. I think it can be a little hard to find due to their limited publishing schedule***. Apparently the eighth never went on sale around here because I've been looking and didn't see it.

*** Up until now they have published only two issues a year. Jeff, did the announcement you saw say that they're expanding this to four?

I'm with Larry G. on this one, Jeff. I have heard much ado, but I haven't seeh much ado with availablity where I can actually make the purchase. I went on-line to PW and they didn't do subscritions at that time. And frankly, I don't have time to try to chase down a vendor.

So.. you bring good news as I apparently can just take a chance and subscribe while not having to waste time searching. I only take FWW by subscription, but again have heard through the grape-vine much praise about the Woodworking Mag and it's policy of no ads, at least at this point.

Thanks for the tip...

I got a free copy of Woodsmith which is another no ad magazine. Seems pretty decent. Has anyone got any thoughts about this mag?

I glance at it on the stand DL, but don't purchase it. If I see something interesting in it, I'm cheap and just read it on the spot and move on. I suppose with so many mags out, not much excites me in my 36th year of hacking away at wood.

30 years ago anything I could get my hands on that pertained to WW was exciting and I usually bought it.

Thanks for the link Jeff, I thought the mag was awesome. I'm considering their cd of the previous 7 issues.

Yes, thank you Jeff.

The site says they are NOT taking subscriptions but you can sign up for announcements when the next issues are published. Also says they are planning 2 issues in '08 -- one in the spring and one in the fall.

Yup. Signed up for the newsletter and it's verbage contradicts what their web site said yesterday.

$19.96 for 4 issues.

"If you subscribe now, the next issue of Woodworking Magazine will ship to you in early March. Then you will get three more issues, approximately one every three months."

Looks like a great magazine but I will probably have to pass. Just don't need another sub. Thanks for the heads-up anyway, J.
