Toothpick Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Nice. NRA here as well. Was mainly interested in scroll saw or woodworking magazines. I should have put that in the title. Sorry! OCtoolguy and RabidAlien 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Use to get them all now i get none except the AAW which I am a member. Trying to figure out a way to sell off tons of magazines I collected over the years. They became a waste to me the plans in the scrollsaw mags did not interest me and were too plain and easy. Not for seasoned scrollers and they started to get too much intarsia. Woodworking mags are all about ads. they all do the same tool reviews. You can find these things out on line these days. I highly suggest find a store that sells mags and buy ones that have something in that interest you. They get hard to store after awhile. I have an attic full.

WayneMahler Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I subscribe to scroll saw and Wood worker Journal. After they expire I'm going to stop both. Nobody seems to offer ( scroll saw ) that is a challenge and the other seems to repost items that were published before. I find that pintrest and a few other searches yield better ideas for creating my own work. RabidAlien, JTTHECLOCKMAN and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffydog Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I chose Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts by Fox Chapel. Since I haven't been scrolling that long I still enjoy it. And since I enjoy jogging my memory with back issues, I often bring up a stack to browse thru in the evening after work. Store them in a wall cabinet in my shop. Just renewed for 2 more years. I also browse the magazine rack at the local thrift store. They had a good selection of old magazines which were a treat to look thru. Bought quite a few and enjoy them. But then again I like nostalgia. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrolling Steve Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I enjoy ScrollSaw Woodworking & Crafts....There seems to be at least one project in every issue that jumps out at me....just my two cents worth, Steve.

Same for me. Though I have more patterns on my to-do list then I could cut in a life time. OCtoolguy and Scrolling Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill WIlson Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I believe Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts is the only regular publication, dedicated to scrolling. I've been getting that for several years now. I also get WOOD Magazine. Unfortunately, in this digital age, paper magazines are becoming less and less viable and will probably disappear all together, in my lifetime.

oldhudson Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I subscribe to Woodsmith Magazine and Wood Magazine. I thumb through Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts at the store, if I find a project/article I'm interested in I'll pick up that issue.

Sycamore67 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I subscribe to Wood Magazine. I just let my SSW&C go and not renewing. The projects that were interesting to me have dwindled. IMHO they have too many that require painting. They do have fret work type projects but that is not my cup of tea. I suggested one time that they do a poll to determine what type projects they should have but was told it was too difficult. Also, I seemed to be always the last to get my copy. There were people making and posting projects from an issue before I even got it. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From time to time the publishers have solicited opinions, on the content of their magazine, from the members of their scrolling forum. Probably not going to get input from a majority of subscribers, necessarily, but they do ask for input. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to stop the magazine and could never get it accomplished. So, I put in a change of address and now my son in Colo. Sprgs. gets it. They were stacking up on me unread. I took the time to cut all the address info off the covers and donated about 12 years worth to the local library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran L Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I also get Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts and enjoy it. I'm also not a seasoned scroller so their patterns are still interesting and challenging to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I been getting sswc Mag, and my last issue is in summer of 2020, not sure if I will re new them, as there are plenty of free patterns, and Sue Mey, Sheila also have nice patterns which I buy a lot of, and of course Steve Good has a lot of patterns. I do not do carving or Intarsia strickley scrolling. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
