Thread: Free PDF of Hack's Handplane Book

Thanks for the heads-up Ern, just downloaded it, all 276 pages of it!

Some light reading there.

Pleasure Fred.

I bought the print copy some time ago and enjoy dipping into it.

Thanks for the tip... yes it is available to '14 day' members. Downloaded and I'll be on to it as soon as I have finished the Schwarz book!

Cheers

I am a subscriber to Fine Woodworking and last year I paid the $14-95. At the end of the 12 months, there was no e-mail about resubscribing or to tell me that the twelve months was up, they just took the money from my Visa Card and I was not impressed !

I don't think it is right that a person or Company can take money out of you Visa acccount without you agreeing to the transaction.
I am not saying the Tauntons are dishonest. just that the system is wrong.
I subscribe to another media which does the same thing, when the twelve months is up they just take the money from your account, no by your leave.
If you do not want to subscribe for another twelve months you have to do it well before the due date and your subscription finishes right then, not at the end of the twelve months.
I have had my rant for the day!

Well, that's not my experience with my subscription to the on-line version of Fine Woodworking.

I received an email from Taunton on 26/10/2009 that they would be billing my credit card on 16/11/2009 unless I advised them to the contrary.

Maybe I was just unlucky.

Colin.

My experience was the same as Fred's.
