bonacker Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 It seems true that the company that publishes Creative Woodworks and Crafts has filed for bankruptcy. Too bad because it was very useful, much moreso than Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts. Is SSWC all we have left? Anybody heard anything about whether CWC might be picked up by someone else? Perhaps there aren't enough of us scrollers to keep it in circulation. Quote
LarryEA Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 This was a post earlier when they filed. Don't think they will be picked up. My preference is SSWC . Oh, and the contributing artists are still out there creating I would think. Rob Roy 1 Quote
Ron Johnson Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 It was a terrific magazine and I managed to receive their last issue before they had gone down. I think it's just the thing of the times since there is so much now available on line. Rob Roy 1 Quote
Rob Roy Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Nice to see you back Ron. Larry was getting worried about you, but we all knew you would show up. Rob Roy. Quote

amazingkevin Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 My stack of scroll saw magazines is14" tall.That should hold me for a while.I ran around frantically trying to get the last issue as they went out of business but found out I already have it! Isn't that the way it always goes,lol Quote
bonacker Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 My problem with SSWC is that they seem obsessed with puzzle making and toys for kids. They'll throw in an intarsia item occasionally, but I haven't found anything I was interested in making for about 2 years straight. I cancelled my subscription last Spring because it had become so elemental. Perhaps the better patternmakers who contributed to CWC will now show up in SSWC as it is the only place they can go. If that happens, I'll be sure to resubscribe. Quote
amazingkevin Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 i was an avid airbrusher and since 1991 received all the magazines . Then they started loading up the magazine with dark side stuff.That was the end of my subscription.I'm going to miss the scroll saw magazine good or bad articles.It was something related to my hobby little or nothing out there now Quote
NC Scroller Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Yes CWC will be greatly missed. I have seen on FB that a number of the designers are trying to create a e-zine. Also SSWC is suppose to come out with an e-zine special issue later this month. I think we will be seeing e-zines alot in the future. BTW no connection to any of the enterprises mentioned above.
