The title says it all (in case you haven’t heard). I have the Winter 2010 issue on my coffee table right now. Haven’t started reading yet, but I’m excited about it.

The new publisher is just doing one issue per year.
At least that is how I understand the new arrangement thus far.

Are they honoring the "leftovers" of old subscriptions or must one resubscribe? Know how to contact them? In the past the did not do subscriptions on the internet. - Woodhors
No they won't honor the leftover subscriptions. What they did is give Woodwork subscribers American Woodwoker in it's place for the remainder of their subscription. I had to go out and buy the latest Woodwork off the store shelves even though I am a long time subscriber. It irks me because American Woodworker is nowhere near the quality of Woodwork. I would have been happy to just to get the one year edition of Woodwork instead.

Did you contact the publisher to ask if the new "Woodwork" was part of the American Woodworker subscription?I just give my issues of AW to my neighbor. I just wish they would have given me my money back.F.
No, I read on the Woodwork website that the magazine is no longer offered under a subscription basis and all remining subscribers will be given Amer Wood instead.
I read American Woodworker and throw it in the trash about twenty minutes later.

I received the new Woodwork magazine as part of package when I joined the Furniture Society..that was the first I was aware that it was being published again..according to the editor's note, the magazine will not be available by subscription, only sold in stores.

They might have just added the issues to my current subscription to AW. Keeping track of different subscription dates of different magazines is not something I am good at. Actually I don't even want to be good at it, I would just like it done well. Only being sold at news stands is a bit of a problem for me. In my small Colorado town I could probably find People magazine --- if I had any interest. Thanks for the information! --- Woodhors
Same here and I am in the second largest town in Colorado. The Safeway still does not have Tools and Shops ( though they always have it every year ) and does not have any issue of FWW on the rack at this time. I doubt if they will carry Woodwork.My favorite mag shop, Hathaways Tobacconist closed up years ago. A sad day dang it !
That is where I first saw my first issue of Woodwork and until Hathaways closed I never took subscriptions because I wanted to support the shop. They had tons of magazines of all sorts.Queenmasteroftheuniverseandbabybunnytrainer and I would make a magazine run in the MG to get Art magazines, euro car mags, machinist mags, jewelry making mags, woodworking mags, cooking mags etc. Then head to the coffee shop with the big wing back chairs and just take over a spot for several hours. Watch the sun set or a winter storm come in. We bought lots of food, treats ( and to take home ) and coffee to pay for our invasion.Aaahhh those were the good old days . . . I say . . .here is the place if that sort of thing sounds good to you. Sorry web sight, looks all plane and boring but is quite nice inside. Notice they are open late for after a movie etc. They have lots of different teas in big jars too. Can get a press pot or English style tea pot if not a coffee person. Quick to get to from down town. The counter is a nice old time bar all wood and brass. Antique shop across the street.http://montaguesparlour.com/PS: Between the coffee shop and down town is the woodworking show at the Pioneer's Museum every year. Still going on as of 11-24-09. Nice old historic building !http://www.springsgov.com/SectionIndex.aspx?/img_362751.jpgSectionID=38rocGive me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Thanks for the reply. Colorado Springs is still a couple of hours away so we don't get there too often - about once every one or two months, sometimes less. I do remember and miss a great deal of the "good old days", but mostly the things like newsstands, barber shops with fisherman barbers, etc. On the other hand LV and LN were not around then. Montague's Parlour sounds like the kind of place we look for when we have a bit of time in the Springs. I will print out the page and stick it in the glove box so we can find it next time we are there.
For years I have wanted to make the show at Pioneer Museum. First heard about it in a FWW announcement decades ago. It always comes at a busy time with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, Danish Christmas cookies in the oven and projects in the shop. Still a few weeks to make it this year - we will see.
Was Hathaways Tobacconist the place downtown, across the street and a block or two south of the Chinook bookstore? I have looked in that area to get Blue Boar pipe tobacco for my dad many years ago. Were he alive today he would be very sad because I don't think they make it any more. Thanks for the memories.

>Hathaways Tobacconist the place downtown?<Same side, north of Chinook a few doors ( CB gone as well : ( before HT).I enjoy on line books, Amazon etc, but miss the book stores. My closest book store doesn't cater so much to my interests. I used to go there monthly and buy a few second hand FWWs of the older black and white ones. They have not got in a single one for years now. I have a whole list of the ones I have and the ones I am looking for.Not the same to order one on line. The excitement of the hunt was the thing.PS: While Chinnook was open I always ordered through them, even on line books, and paid the extra. I loved the staff ! ! ! I hope they all went on to decent employment but I fear for them.A very important part of my life gone.rocGive me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

roc,
I have a whole list of the ones I have and the ones I am looking for.
Email the list of the ones you're looking for. I have some of duplicates that I don't need. Not sure if there are any black & whites though; reasonably good shape.
Regards,
Bob @ Kidderville Acres
A Woodworkers mind should be the sharpest tool in the shop!

They have been sending me American Woodworker in place of Woodwork. I have not received the new "Woodwork" in the mail. I am not sure if it is part of the American Woodworker subscription. I suppose I could e-mail the publisher.F.
