I would love to see more women in woodworking, but not in an Easy Rider
format. A magazine that focused on woodworking for women would stand a
much better chance of working. Most of the magazines out there rehash
the S.O.S with little variation. A mag built around profiling peoples
shops would be interesting. This is something like what Woodshop News
does, but they talk more about the business than the shop layout and
set up.

I always like woodshop news. Even though they were focusing on the business
end of thing, you got some real stories. Some good ole human beings involved
in their woodshop struggles, disasters and successes. That sort of thing is
very interesting.

Have a woodshop of the month. Give a good story and an indepth look at how
that individual did it. Profile some of the projects they did. Give some
kind of prize for being picked as wood shop of the month. Perhaps two
catagories. One for Normites and one for Neanders. The advertisers would
certainly like to participate in something like this.

Also, how about some real life tool reviews. Ya know, like that guy over at
www.woodshopdemos.com I love his stuff. He gives you a hands on review.
Much better than most of the magazines do. It is an old guy playing around
with tools in his home shop. It doesn't get much more real life than that.
