re: Do you like digital woodworking magazines?

I agree with you Mike40. Had I not been “gifted” a multitude of various WW magazine titles, ALL from ~1985—2000, then I might have felt a bit different about the digital issues. Plus, I was able to extend my WOOD magazine collect up through 2010 by a gift from another WWr making a complete set from 1985-2010, or 202 issues (25yr worth). And NOW, with the WWWeb gift of a 12month subscription to WOOD, I am again adding even more WOOD magazines!

I also agree about the repetitive nature of the “stuff” (projects), so keeping an old collection makes sense to me, since I have only been WWing for 4yr thus far. Having an entire Title’s collection sure makes using their/WOOD’s online INDEX productive.

I do have to point out that SOME WW Titles prohibit you from “using” their online index unless you are an active subscriber. Now THAT ticks me off! That amounts to actually attempting to make their very own Magazine Title hard copy worthless, because you are not allowed to see their “index” to look things up! What a cheap shot! I won’t name those titles here, but rest assured that some are major WW titles pulling a cheap shot on their customers! And THAT is not FINE with me at all.

At least WOOD still provides access to their index online. THANKs WOOD!
