Thread: Mortising Jig

Maybe there is a suitable Canadian magazine.

One of the disappointing facts for Canadians is that although they (we) protest loudly about being mistaken for Americans, they (we) are quite willing to read American published mag's. As a consequence there are not nearly as many Canadian published mag's as there are Australian, even though the potential readership is almost twice that of our country (Australia).

I am not aware of any quality woodworking mag's produced in Canada for the Canadian market, though I would love to learn otherwise.

'I am not aware of any quality woodworking mag's produced in Canada '

Are there any quality Australian w\w magazines??

Ouch Bob.

I don't reckon we do too bad, considering the size of the readership the mags are catering to.

AWR might be ok if it didn't cater almost exclusively to the arty crafty lot.

Yeah, Bob, I know what you mean there.

I bought about 20 back issues of Aus Woodworker this morn at the market, dates from about '88 to '95 I think. It's interesting to read the old articles and ads, etc. Particularly how the scene has changed a lot in the interim.

I do buy AWW once in a blue moon just to keep up with the adverts and suppliers but they are dropping off - must be the ads cost too much.

Hey, Gents, don't beat yourselves up. We do alright when it comes to publishing magazines. They may not be perfect, but at least they are Australian. Given the size of our market, with no potential of serving a larger market, I think it is rather remarkable the number and yes, even the quality of our mag publishing industry.

After all, this is a market smaller than southern California. I doubt that even our Yank friends would invest as heavily in producing magazines for their market if it was the size of ours.

do you need a plunge router or can you use a non plunge router (makita )

Farm Boy,

You need a plunge router for this jig; in Australia, we don't retain the sentimental attachment to fixed-based routers that you seem to have in the US, so fixed based routers are almost unknown here.

Oops; sorry, sounded more like a suburb of Miami; and it doesn't feature in the index of the Touring Atlas of Australia. Perhaps you need to specify NSW.
