Right now, we’re offering a “kit” that includes just about every page from every woodworking magazine in our store through 2014. In the “20,000 Pages of Woodworking Ultimate Collection,” you get the Popular Woodworking Magazine 1995-2013 DVD (which also includes a bonus video, “Finishes that Pop”), the 2014 Popular Woodworking Magazine compilation CD, the Woodworking Magazine CD, with all 16 issues we published, Woodwork Magazine 1989-2014 DVD, and American Woodworker 1985-2014 DVD. All for just $125 (64% less than the total value of each bought individually).
For a look at just some of what’s been offered over the years, below are links to a few of the articles from those pages that are free on our site (what we have available free is but a drop in the bucket compared to what you’ll find on the discs).
• Creole Table, by Christopher Schwarz (Popular Woodworking Magazine, February 2007)
(The post also includes the recipe he uses for a delicious Creole duck & andouille étouffée)
• A dirt-simple Victorian Side Table, by well, me (Popular Woodworking Magazine, December 2010)
(I like this one because it’s quick and easy, but with the right wood, can look impressive)
• Circular Cutting Board, by Robert W. Lang (Woodworking Magazine, Spring 2008)
(An excellent lesson in cutting round…and a nice gift project)
• Table-saw Tenon Jig, by Robert W. Lang (Popular Woodworking Magazine, August 2007)
(This one may not be sexy, but if you use a table saw for joinery, it’s a must-build)
• Moxon’s Ingenious Bench Vise, by Christopher Schwarz (Popular Woodworking Magazine, December 2010)
(Because I couldn’t dovetail (well) without it – and it makes most sawing at the bench a lot easier)
• Barrister Bookcases, by Glen D. Huey, (Popular Woodworking Magazine, April 2007)
(Glen shares some clever techniques to make this classic project a little simpler)
And finally, two PDF scans – available on our web site only through this blog post:
• Cannon Ball Bedstead, by Carlyle Lynch (The American Woodworker, Summer 1986)
(A historic reproduction by one of the most storied names in woodworking; the hand-drawn illustrations are simply gorgeous)
• David Pye: Workmanship of Risk, by Glenn Gordon (Woodwork, December 1996)
(Because David Pye’s work is important and relevant for so many of today’s best craftsmen and craftswomen)
