Stogies Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Can you tell me your favorite schroll saw magazine ? and why it is your favorite? Thanks Duane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendita Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Duane I used to spend a fortune on Magazines but after the internet came out and all the scroll saw sites starting to pop up I haven't had the need to for the outrageous prices the Magazine companies are charging with a 75% advertising content, The suggestions, help, and free patterns are all available right at your finger tips. And I would rather take the advise of the folks right here in the village and other scroll saw sites as well with the years of experience and trail and error then some editor sitting behind a desk who had a saw given to him in return for promoting their product. That kind of sums it up for me hope it shines some light on the subject for you. Clayton717, bobscroll, Rob Roy and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I like them all and Creative woodworks & crafts has lots of full size patterns in the center that fold out which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I don't subscribe to any for most of the reasons Bendita mentioned, but I will buy one occasionally if there is something that interests me in them. that magazine is usually Scroll saw woodworking and crafts.

Uncle Ricky Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I like subscribe to the Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine, I started getting it back in December 1997 with the Scroll World issue and havent missed an issue yet, its 2014 and i'm still getting them. It is a great magazine to get. Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 My sister gave me a gift subscription to I don't think I'd miss it much. Bendito and Clayton say it best for me. Of course Grampa makes a stiff argument also. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodknots Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I subscribe to scroll saw that fox publishing puts out .there's always good patterns in it with full-size pull out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Prozora Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well I too get t he SSW&C mag and definitely not the Playboy as it does teach you what goes in hard and comes out soft and goey,, and it's not made of wood either.. LOLOLOL!!!! Fay keefie and bobscroll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Creative Woodworks & Crafts is my favorite because it has a lot more patterns than Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts and more issues for the subscription price. Fay, did you ever learn the answer to that riddle? what goes in hard and comes out soft and goey It's Chewing Gum! God Bless!

nrscroller Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I used to buy both scrolling magazines but now I look at them before I purchase them as I have found a lot of times there is nothing in it that appeals to me and it is just a waste of money. I have back issues going back to the late 90s so I have lots of ideas I can still do with some of them, and now with digital download from some of the scrollsaw dealers, I can get my patterns right away that I really want.

Fay Prozora Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yes,, I knew it was chewing gum but I thought I would be kind of funny on that. That is a very old joke we used to tell when we were kids too. I don't chew gum as it is too hard on my teeth now as I don't have any bottom teeth on the right side so can't even chew things like those cheese balls any more and it hurts a tooth on the left side. Grrrr... So what else is new? Have a great day Fay john shankel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
