re: Resident Skills

I thought this forum is about advertising revenues …..
I could be wrong ……but naugh……….that’s about it …
just normal commerce . In the woodworking magazines
of the 1960’s some would submit their work through contests or solicitations . Once it was selected the
magazines would pay the woodworker a few bucks ,
in exchange they handed over the piece and it’s proprietary value of design(plans) and reproduction to
the magazine . They would often have bio profiles and
words of wisdom from the " lucky " selectee . this was the backdrop for magazines selling ad space to tool companys and selling those all important " Woodworking
Plans " they had acquired . selling the dream ……ah yes .
I will return to talk about layout tools , and I have a
riddle…..puzzle……a sort of hypothetical contest to test
everyone’s knowledge .
