Yep. You expect one of the articles to have a number of pages as indicated by the numbered boxes but they just cycle through pics.
But, the piece on abrasives eg is still worth a read.

Santa gave me a sub a few years ago Dave.
The content may have changed but I've never bought a copy since. The projects were well described but I never found one I wanted to do, and the gear reviews were shallow IMO. So my advice would be to find one in a newsagent and check it out.
If you do like what you see I believe there may still be a cheaper sub route via The Woodsmith in Melb.

Thanks Ern,
I'll go find a decent newsagent and check it out. I've found that with a few magazines - nice stuff, but never a project I wanted to make. Sometimes useful for a tip on how things are done though.
Cheers,
Dave
