269424 Michael Suwczinsky <nicknaylo@g...> 2019‑11‑18 Re: Popular Woodworking?
I had the electronic subscription for a few years, trying to save trees for
more appropriate uses but found the content hasn't really spoken to me in a
long while. When Megan Fitzpatrick left as the editor (and
'mutual-agreement-to-part-ways" statement that reeked a threatened
severance and an NDA)  I cancelled that scrip too. The hand tool and Old
skills content that Chris Schwartz brought to the magazine are not the
focus any longer. The Lost Art Press Blog and many other electronic
resources seem to fill the need the print magazines once satisfied. I let
FWW go when it became more pictures than text and the captions on the
pictures just paraphrased the text.  Old issues of FWW are still a pleasure
to read, with dense text, explanatory captioning and deep dives into craft,
and I grab those old issues whenever they show up at sales.
