Welcome to Wood Talk for Woodworkers by Woodworkers.

Now here are three guys who are actually under the illusion that

Woodworking is cool. Mark, Matt, and Shannon.

All right, it's Wood Talk Number 247 for June 5th, 2015, and it's a weekend edition of Wood Talk.

On today's show, we're talking about woodworking magazines.

Now we've got a lot of questions about this just periodically,

but lately it seems like we've gotten quite a few,

two or three in the past week or so,

asking what our opinions are on the various

woodworking magazines which ones we subscribe to which ones are good which one

suck and I thought that would be a good topic for us to hash out here.

So first of all, let's go around and just talk about what we subscribe to at this point.

Now we've, all three of us have been woodworking for quite some time, so I think when it comes to woodworking magazines

just naturally they go through this publication cycle and it's a matter of you know how

many years in that cycle three years four years I don't know exactly what it is but

you get a lot of repeat information.

So by the time you're about a decade into this whole thing, you start to see that you don't necessarily

need to subscribe to everything.

And I used to have every subscription that was available. and you see the

see the repeating it was available and that becomes expensive and then also

you see the repeating topics.

And at this point I just kind of subscribe to the magazines that I am most familiar with and comfortable with and I just feel, I don't know, I would feel kind of sad if they weren't showing up in my mailbox periodically.
