I have a fellow turner that I talk to and debate different topics with and the topic of what is the best woodturning magazine popped up in conversation. I told them that I do not subscribe to any of them because of the ones I have seen the content lacks. It is just my opnion of course and I may be wrong and there may very well be a something out there that I am not aware of.
Another turner wrote this:: Magazines are a disservice to the turner ...the articles have little resemblance to the techniques required to complete the project-----often someone other than the original craftsman wrote the article....to many details are lost to the editors cutting......video often no better because to many details are left out making them little value.
I would take exception to the comment on the videos however (U-Tube aside) because I have several -Tibbs,Raffan,Grumbine,Mahooney,McEvoy - some of the content may not useful to me because of my particular setup/tooling etc.....but, I have never regreted owning any of these videos and I have learned alot from them.
Back to the topic now - What do others think the best Magazine is for woodturning ????? and your comments on the contents........Thanks
