Hi Leif,
This came up a few months ago and I have given it some thought. From my
side of things, I try to provide information that might have some
reference value, but at the same time I recognize that much of what I
write about is constantly changing and evolving. Most articles I have
written have been revised and updated at least once, and usually more
than once. That is the rub. I don't have the energy to put up my own
website (where it would be easy to keep the current versions available),
in the end I'm skittish about turning them over to someone else's
website (though I have received some very generous offers), I don't want
to compete with Fred Holder's back issue sales, and a CD would burn in
plastic words that might change two weeks later. For example, my buffing
article has been updated four times, and is about to be completely
overhauled to incorporate some new products. So I'd feel strange about
someone having paid for a CD, then having the article they paid for not
contain the current information.

I am open for suggestions and possibly even joint ventures. I'm not
really interested in making any money, but I must admit I would like to
have some of these articles be more readily available as a resource and
reference, particularly in a way that could include the photos and
diagrams and formatted tables that I am not able to offer at the
newsgroup level, and are only viewable in gray scale in More Woodturning.

Hi, Lyn! Can't recall if this has been raised with you before, but don't
you think it's time to consider burning a CD or two with all your articles
on it? I love the CD Steven produced and apparently a second one is in the
birthing process!
