ShopNotes Back in (e)Print

Post by roy_okc »

I was reading the Feb 23 issue of WoodSmith yesterday and found out that after an eight-year hiatus, ShopNotes magazine is back. At this time, it will be published quarterly and only in electronic format. One of the things I like about WoodSmith and ShopNotes is that besides the online viewing interface, there is a very obvious button to download as a PDF.

The current issue, #139, is 48 pages and includes a recent topic related to a recent thread here, building a DIY loose tenon router jig.

In a similar vein, I was poking about on the Woodpeckers website recently, and noticed that they now have a “Project Plans” section. It turns out that they are now selling a huge catalog of WoodSmith plans, and that section is pretty well organized.

Sure enough, they offer router mortising jig plans for about ten bucks.

Interestingly, some of the jig plans are low-cost alternatives to Woodpeckers’ own expensive red-anodized aluminum jigs.

Man good ol ShopNotes. I loved those bad boys. I have Vol. 1 Issue 1 all the way through to Vol. 23 Issue 138 in PDF. I'm not sure but I think that's all of the old ones.
