At least in the past, FLAME WARS were mainly woodworking related. But
for the most part, name calling and such was kept to a minimum, and
often valuable woodworking information was learned.

Politics, especially polarizing politics doesn't do much in the way of
producing any useful woodworking information and frankly, there are
other news groups dedicated to politics that seem, at least to me, to be
a better place for political exchanges - that go on and on and on and on
and . . .

So - a question.

Why all the plans for Arts & Craft / Greene & Greene / Stickley pieces
in magazines - and NONE on chinese furniture and joinery. There's a
long and
deep pool of joinery and design waiting to be tapped by an editor and I
for one
am awaiting some of that info with great anticipation.

What would you like to see woodworking magazines get into?

regarding the chinese joinery... here's the simple way:

And the difficult way:
Demystifying a complex Chinese Joint by Randolph Demercado

It is in Fine WoodWorking issue Sept/Oct 1998 pages 108 to 112 and it is a
double-mitered, dovetail-keyed, mortise and tenon joint.



I have the issue, but can't seem to find the article on FWW online.
