unsolicited Woodturning Design mag arrived

Don R. Salisbury - Glendora, CA

>Howdy all,

I usually lurk, but thought I'd post this since I've not heard of this publication before. I just received an unsolicited "Woodturning Design" published by Jerry Cohen of All American Crafts, Inc (Illinois?). I don't have a clue where they got my name. As for the magazine, it has lots of color photos and how-to articles. It looks well-made. I have not yet read the articles and cannot comment on substantive quality. They want me to subscribe. The price is reasonable, but SWMBO will scream if I subscribe to even one more WW mag. So I have to weigh the pros and cons carefully. Afterall, there are still many tools to acquire :)

Does anyone else know of this publication,its quality, and the usefulness of its articles? Just curious.

>I also got a free issue (not a subscriber, but bought the first issue). And an AAW member. I think Terry's got the right answer. And the second issue actually has an article on 'design'!

I got it too...

>...and I like it. There is a lot of step-by-step how-to information in there, mostly in regard to specific projects or types of projects. That's good for someone like me who can turn a pretty good bowl but not much else.

>theory on AAW is correct. Our local chapter (Palmetto woodturners) alerted us to this rag coming to us all as AAW members. As a beginner I thought it was cool and will likely subscribe.

Shave away,
