Foul!!!

Rob in Peoria

>So, I open an innocent message in my e-mail inbox yesterday, and it's a promo for the new issue of Woodworking Magazine. This issue features Chris's new Roubo-style bench, which I am very interested. I read all the supporting material on the website, and now I'm very motivated to buy the issue before leaving on vacation this Friday.

Last night we're out shopping for the trip and the magazine's no where to be found! Argh! Chris, when's this thing hit the shelves! I'm dying out here...

Woodworking Magazine is on the truck I suppose

Christopher Schwarz

>The issue went out to the newsstands last week. It should be on sale everywhere by August 9. That's what they tell me in circulation at least!

>a) Since, as Chris says in his post, it's a newsstand-only magazine (thus, no subscriptions), I think you'd get awfully lonely settin' out by your mailbox waiting. If you live in the country, sooner or later you'd get knocked over by some teenager out bashing mailboxes.

b) To quote a one-semester TV show from back when my 33-year-old was a teenager, "when the fires of the place of eternal punishment are covered with a dew of frost."

I haven't read more than the first issue of this magazine, but will have to pick this one up and see what Chris has to say about the Roubo bench.

>Where ever you are going on vacation you can't be far from a Lowe's store. That is where I found my last copy. And boy was I ever excited. Excellent read.

Well, actually

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA

>I don't know where Rob's headed, but we spent part of our vacation in Crater Lake, Oregon, and we were probably two hours from the nearest Lowe's - far more cows than people, except in the park itself, and the biggest store was about the size of a SMALL 7-11.

Re: Woodworking Magazine is on the truck I suppose

Rob in Peoria

>We're going to Fay Lake, WI, which is just a couple of miles from the UP. Nearest town is Breitung, MI. Nearest Lowe's is Milwaukee - four hours, Nearest Home Despot is Iron Mountain, MI, 1 hour away - that might be reasonable. Hope it's in Peoria tomorrow morning...

Thanks!

Doug Littlejohn

>Chris hadn't yet posted when I asked as I was thinking it was PWW. So now it's off to Borders I go. I wnat to check out that bench as well.

right you both are...

Victor Parisian

>Last August we vacationed on Isle Royale...four hour boat ride to Copper Harbor Michigan plus a couple more hours (?) to Houghton didn't even think to look for Lowe's there. This spring it was to Big Bend National Park 90 Miles South of Alpine and Marathon TX. No Lowe's there either.

Dang! They named TWO Michigan towns after me?

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA

>When we lived in Michigan, we once spent a night in Houghton Lake, which is just about dead center in the lower peninsula (near Cadillac). All-time record holder for worst motel mattress; we spent the night trying not to crush our son, who was sleeping in the deep well in the middle of the mattress between us.

I didn't know they'd named another town after me, in my favorite part of the state too.

Though not really; they pronounce it HO-tun, while my family pronounces it HOW-tun. I'm told the pronunciation has to do with what part of England one's ancestors came from.
