Charlie,

Thanks for the pointer to www.fwpublications.com. F+W lists
"Popular Woodworking" as their only woodworking magazine. That may
just mean the mother ship has not been updated. Maybe "Woodworking
Magazine" is just a pilot project, that could explain why
www.fwpubs.com is not active yet.

Actually pilot project can be used to explain many faults in the
first issue. I haven't finished this issue yet and I'm already
waiting for the July issue. Just a fish on the hook.

Good potential, good promise. The lack of ads really shines the
light on the articles. No distractions. But that's okay, I
subscribe to Fine Woodworking for the ads anyway. :-)

Jack

I just did a quick look in this group to see if anyone has
discussed
this magazine before and I couldn't find any posts. (that may be
a
statement of my newsgroup skills not a definitive "it isn't here"
position)

Anyway, stumbling through a Barnes & Noble this week, I came
across
a "new" magazine. "Woodworking Magazine." The printed bar-code
block carries the "Popular Woodworking" name, along with a $4.99
U.S. price.

It bills itself as the Spring 2004 issue, and states you can
preorder the next issue, the Fall 2004 issue for $7.00. The Fall
issue will be the second publication of 2004 and is promised out
in
July. Those are the only two issues planned for 2004. No
subscriptions are being offered at this time.

Steve Shanesy is the Editor & Publisher. Shanesy and the
masthead
staff have e-mail addresses at @fwpubs.com. Google has no
listing
for fwpubs.com. The magazine says they are F&W Publications
Inc.,
in Cincinnati, Ohio. They state they are a sister publication to
Popular Woodworking.


Steve is editor & publisher of PW, while Chris (Schwarz) is EE
there, too. Not
exactly neophytes. I forget how long they've been there, Steve a
bit longer,
IIRC.

Not a bad first attempt. Pretty good, I think. They have some
work
to do.

Good to know there's a new mag coming out. I'll see if I can
locate a copy
around here.

Another note: look for fwpublications.com, not fwpubs.
