Wood turning magazines - which one/s is best?

The currency on the pocketmags site should appear in a drop down box at the top right of the page.

Yes i have a digital subscription to woodturning - but i can only tell you about how it behaves on a pc.

There are a number of ways to access subscribed content on a PC.

Through your web browser directly - through one of two different readers - flash (old) or silverlight based plugins
- i dont tend to do this

Through the pocketmags reader program which is installed onto your computer (also available as windows 8 app)
In this case the magazines are downloaded to your computer (if you find where they are stored on your computer this location can be backed up - so you wont have to download everything again in the event of a PC crash).
So the files do get saved as such and can be printed - albeit only one page at a time and they are overprinted with pocketmags diagonally across the page as a watermark (but its not a problem in most cases).

buying a single issue is a cheap way to try and was what i did when i first came across it.

It has had some good stuff & some inspirational stuff in it but I haven't even been tempted to pick one up for at least a year now.

hi all,
i think when new to wood turning ,the W.T.mag offers a lot of information,but as you
become more experienced maybe there is a bit of repetition,you can only turn a bowl so many ways
and finish in a few certain ways,i have subscribed for a few years now and must agree
that it is becoming a bit boring,i guess i will always be learning but i think that comes from
practice now and not going over the same stuff,just my thoughts

i must agree with cliff
cheers smiife
