When you are an accomplished woodworker (as yourself and
others with like ability who hang out on the wreck) it must
get a little "old" to hear the same stuff repeated over and over.

Some of can't have it repeated often enough, and actually learn
from the repitition.

Is there another better magazine out there?

Yes, maybe. "Woodwork". Like FWW, it can be spotty - some issues
fascinating, others not, but it is at least as consistent as FWW and
features artists and craftspeople each issue. Much less "how-to" and
more visual inspiration.

I agree with Rick. Woodwork is consistently better than FWW these days,
at least for my tastes.

Having been given the 'black & white' years of FWW by a good friend, I
read them all. There are nuggets there, and they were groundbreaking
for their time. But stacked up against the current fare, I think it
inaccurate to say that they are head and shoulders above the new
material.

George Frank's articles on finishing techniques were, for example, for
me, far less interesting than most of what Jeff Jewitt or Terri Masachi
have written.

The profiles on masters in our craft, however, have always been
excellent. That's one of the features I enjoy most about Woodwork.
