New scroll saw magazine
« on: November 23, 2015, 02:35:16 pm »
I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned the new scrolling magazine coming out.  Steve told about it in his Nov 21 post.  It's called Scrollers Choice & Woodworking Arts magazine.  The first issue can be pre-ordered now and will be sent out Dec 3.  I've ordered mine and can't wait to get it.  Their website shows pics of some of the holiday patterns.  Price says 6.95 per issue, plus postage and it's apparently not a subscription, just available for purchase by the issue.

Always excited to see something new coming out, although in today's market, seems like it would be an e-magazine, but it's not.  I'm hoping lots of people order so they can continue.

Hey Nancy I signed up but no payment yet.  Did you do something different after signing up for payment?

I put my name in too but I would like to know the shipping cost.  I am in Canada and sometimes the P&H is a killer.

Too bad not available electronically.

Can anyone supply a web-site address or contact info, please?
Doing a google search, I could not even find this magazine unless
it is the People's Choice mentioned in scrollsawer.com.

It is for Pre order only.  Supposedly going to ship Dec 4 but I have not heard from them yet.

Little late for Christmas this year.

Sound like a very low budget operation as they are trying to see how many sales before they print.
I hope they do well but its a tough market for print media.
  I would much rather see a scroll magazine in a online version maybe like what "Woodsmith" does. If for nothing else  then to be able to search every issue on line is great when looking for specific projects.
 I have the Holiday issue that Fox Chapel put out last year and revised this year but their online project seems to have stalled.

Hi Karl,

I haven't heard anything else from them since I signed up for the pre-order.  Really wanting to get this, even though it will be too late to cut for this Christmas...with any luck I'll still be around next year!

Maybe, but that is a good idea.  If the interest is not there - then no money is lost on anyone's part and the designer can still sell their patterns online.

I looked at the link but I only see patterns for sale. What I was referring to is a complete magazine online. It's a nice option and easy to read & research.

Sorry I copied the wrong link, here's the correct one:

http://www.scrollsawartist.com/?subcats=Y&status=A&pshort=Y&pfull=Y&pname=Y&pkeywords=Y&match=any&search_performed=Y&q=e-Magazine&dispatch=&dispatch=products.search&utm_source=getresponse&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=scrollsawartist&utm_content=Scrollsawartist+patterns+-+An+early+Christmas+gift

(If anyone can tell me how to insert a link behind a word or two I'd appreciate it.)

These are mainly pattern magazines, but I think she has an article or two also.

I agree it would be great to have an online magazine as well, but I do like holding a physical copy in my hands.

Karl, thanks for the corrected link. I understanding about holding the magazine in your hand, that is what I like about the woodsmith setup they send you a paper copy and and you also have access to the magazine online. Very little scroll or craft type projects but a great general woodworking magazine.  I also have the online library which gives you access to all back copies.
This would be a great format for scroll and crafts as with a online magazine its so easy to print out a pattern. I am sure you know about  the magazine but  link below for those who do not.

Thanks for the link, Don,
It appears that for USA orders, the total is $11.55.
That seems way too high-priced per issue for my taste.
God Bless! Spirithorse

I am not going to bite.

$12.50 USD to Canada.  That equates to about $17 in CDN $.  I would rather donate that to Steve or pick and choose from pattern makers directly.
