I'm trying to get a hold of this mag in the UK, (without the waiting for aaaages to be posted) has anyone seen this in the UK as all the shops are acting retarded like it does not exist.
I do not tend to subscribe to mags as inevitably there will be a mag I just dont find anything useful in....
Kind regards
Ken

Sorry Ken, like you I have found no one over here in U.K. stocks any scrollsaw magazines.
-
Absolutely nothing in Leicestershire, sorry.

There are a lot of you scrollers over there, do you guys have clubs? I would organize and get every one to send in letters to your store headquarters and request that they start carrying it. They probably don't realize that there is a high demand. Would your news channel maybe do a story on you and get some publicity out of it? good luck. I would work on the big chain stores if you have them.

Hi kardar2, looking for scrollsaw books in shops here is not good, we have more chance of finding rocking horse s**t, as for clubs , I have been looking on the internet for a year now and not found one club in the U.K. It seems there isn't enough scrollers here to warrant one. I thought of possibly trying to start one, but so far I havent found another scroller in Cornwall yet (but I'm guessing there must be one here somewhere with a scrollsaw)

Keith (et al),
Although you can't get the current editions there, can you order the back issues from Fox Chapel publishing? In particular, the CDs containing back issues might be what you'd like. I have all three as I've only been doing this a couple years, but wanted access to past information and patterns. Not cheap mind you, but compared to purchasing hard copies of back issues, there's a significant savings. 12 issues per CD. Might be an option for you folks on the other side of the Atlantic.

yea I can get the back issues on CD, but again I need to look in a mag to decide if what I really want ;)
Thanks all for your comments...

Glen, beat you to it (but not by much lol), found an advert for those last night and ordered the first one to start with, it will probably take a week or two in the mail to get here though. Ken, I'll let you know if they ok or not.
-
Ken, Exactly which magazine are you talking about?
-
I've ordered a few back issues from Fox Chapel and each time it has be 10 days or more before they even put it in the mail. I do not know if this is the norm or what, but it was s-l-o-w.
