Stephanie Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Just wondering what wooodworking magazine subscriptions you have and if you think they are worth paying for? Quote
Lucky2 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I use to have six mags that I subscribed to, now, I don't have any. I dropped the last one a couple of months ago, I finally realized that they were full of nothing but advertisements. Len GrampaJim and Phantom Scroller 2 Quote
dgman Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I don't subscribe to any magazines but I would recommend Wood Magazine for general woodworking and Scrollsaw Woodworking and crafts for great scroll saw projects and patterns. danny 1 Quote
WayneMahler Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I still subscribe to Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts. Not sure I will renew it though. I dropped all my others because all advertising . Dan had it right about wood magazine, decent all around magazine. Quote
ike Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I have scroll saw woodworking and crafts, I don't know if there is any other Scrolling mags. Quote
firstmuller Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I like Woodsmith which has no ads in it and Scroll Saw Woodworking and Craft. Allen woodknots 1 Quote
Ron Johnson Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 No magazine subscriptions. I now cherry pick what I want at a retail outlet. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote
oldhudson Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I've been a subscriber to Woodsmith from issue one and the same with Wood. I also get Fine Woodworking and finally Scroll Saw Woodworking and Craft. They're not always great and yeah there can be a boat load of adds but I usually get some ideas or inspirations and frankly I just enjoy them. Quote
don in brooklin on Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I subscribe to Scroll Saw Workshop. Have every issue either hard copy or on DVD. I bought issues 1 - 48 on DVD. Love the mag that way as I have it all indexed. Wish all there mags were on DVD. I also read Fine Working each issue as our club subscribes. Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I am trying to decide if i am going to renew my SSW&C.........Like it but, I like Ron's approach. Quote
NC Scroller Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I get SSW&C. While I find there maybe be an issue from time to time that I find nothing of interest other issues have several projects I like. For me I find in the long run it cheaper to subscribe then buy single issues. Another reason for me to subscribe is the subscription copy is at my home 3-4 weeks earlier than they are in the stores. To me that is very important especially since I do a couple of very profitable Christmas craft fairs. Quote
Denny Knappen Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I also subscribe to SWWC. I have all copies either hard copy or on DVD. I usually find one or two projects interesting. Quote

Can you tell me, where I can find that, Don? have googled all over the place, but no dice! Quote
dgman Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Monti, Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts used to be called Scrollsaw Workshop. Currently, Scrollsaw Workshop is Steve Good's blog and community forum. Quote
Denny Knappen Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I think the address is scrollsawer.com Quote
don in brooklin on Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Can you tell me, where I can find that, Don? have googled all over the place, but no dice! Not easy to find with Fox Chappel but this the link to volume 1 There are 4 volumes each volume has 12 issues. They are currently working on 49 -60 http://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/scroll-saw-woodworking-crafts-archive-cd-volume-1 Quote
NC Scroller Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 On the Fox Chapel site the CD is called an archive. Anyway the fellow link takes you to where you can buy the archive CD's.http://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=archive NOTE: that web page also has the archive CD for their carving magazine.

stoney Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Pretty much stopped taking magazine subscriptions. It started to really bug me that not only was half or more of the connected content advertising, but they started adding loose advertising that would fall in your lap or on the floor. Really!! Also I have received magazines and not found anything of value for me. You defiantly pay more at retailers but at least you can peruse the magazine and see if it has enough value for your money. amazingkevin and GrampaJim 2 Quote
amazingkevin Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Just wondering what wooodworking magazine subscriptions you have and if you think they are worth paying for? I enjoy them,not sure if they please everybody but they do keep you informed of new scroller tools etc. Quote
