Stephanie Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Just wondering what wooodworking magazine subscriptions you have and if you think they are worth paying for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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.

dgman Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhudson Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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.

Scrolling Steve Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don in brooklin on Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
