Hi All
I just recieved my latest copy of a popular woodworking magazine and this is the second month in a row that I am upset by what seems to be semi blatant bias in their reviews. (of course based on I presume, who pays the most for the exposure). Do they really think we are dummies. There are times when they insult our intelligence.
So I thought maybe we could get a poll going and hopefully just hopefully one of these editors (who do not have the time or decency to respond to letters you take the time and effort to send to them) might get to see what the general woodworkers opinion of these magazine led tool reviews are.
Also you may wish to add your ideas as to the process that should be undertaken when performing a tool review.
Just for the record I used to rely on these tests for new tool purchases now I would rather ask my fellow woodworkers on a forum.
