The trouble with Woodworking magazine ...

>I've got a problem with Woodworking Magazine. They don't publish nearly often enough. :)

To make matters worse, way back in the December 2004 Popular Woodworking magazine, Chris Schwarz has a great little article on "4 Ways to Make Dovetailing Easier" and says "Step 1: Mark your lines with a spear-point marking knife." Soon after I read that, I saw that the next issue of Woodworking would have an article on spear-point marking knives. Great. Except, then I had to wait, wait, wait, wait for the next issue of Woodworking.

To make matters even worse still, there are two articles on marking knives, not just one, in the Spring 2005 issue, and they are both exactly on target for people like me (advanced long-time beginner). So I can't ignore what is coming up in future issues, and will have to wait, wait, wait and wait.

Obviously what we need is multiple clones of Chris Schwarz (and his co-conspirators). Get busy, science! (Does anybody get the impression that patience isn't my strong suit?)
