Turning Spa/ted Ood

Summer 1978, $2.50

Ther's a wealthof infornation and ideas

in the back issues of Fine Woo dwo rkin g

and the Bien nial Des i gn Book

Readers tell us that Fine Wo odworking is more than a magazine-it's a reference source they keep coming back to. Each issue

contains timeless information that is hard or impossible to ind elsewhere and won't be repeated in Fine Wo odworking . You

can have all this information, because the ten back issues are now available for your shop.

The irst Biennial Design Book is something else again. Composed of 600 photographs drawn fr om more than 8000 submit

ted by readers, the book shows the great diversity of woodworking being done today. Some of the pieces are traditional, most

are contemporary, and some skillfully blend the two. All are highly creative.

To our readers:

I'm pleased to announce that Fine Wo odworking will be

published six times a year instead of four , beginning with our

next issue, Sept. '78 (No. 12). Many readers have been asking

for more frequent publication ever since the magazine began

in late 1975. But we waited until we were sure we could ind

enough good articles to increase our editorial content a full

50% with absolutely no loss in quality. The number ofwood

workers who wish to write about what they do and how they

do it continues to astonish us, and because we'll be able to

cover more diverse topics in even greater detail, we're now

sure that publishing more pages per year will make a better

magazine. Of course, we'll continue to use our present high

quality paper and printing.

Henceforth, we'll be mailing Fine Wo odworking in Sep

tember, November, January, March, May and July.

To offset in part the cost of more issues, our U.S. subscrip

tion price has gone up from $9 a year to $12 a year, and to

$22 for a two-year subscription. The Canadian rate is $14 a

year in U.S. dollars. For all other countries, a one-year sub

scription is $15, again in U.S. dollars. Subscriptions now in

efect will be honored on a term basis, not on an issue basis. If

you've paid through the end of 1979, for example, you'll still

receive all the issues published between now and then, and

thus you'll get some copies fr ee. Our newsstand price will re

main at $2.50 a copy.

where a= the angle between the side of the object and the

It's true! Shopsmith owners are so devoted o their Mark V's

that some have even demonstrated them at regular meetings

of their local service clubs. Military personnel have taken

their Mark V's with them when they change duty stations.

Others have decided to make special trips to our factory,

just to visit with us -- and you're invited to do the same at

any time you choose.

When you set your Shopsmith up to operate as

one tool, you can "borrow" features usually

associated with the other four tools. For exam

ple: The Rip Fence on the Table Saw works as a

backstop when drilling dowel holes-or as a

guide for parallel edge sanding with the Disc

Sander-or as a "V-jig" for drilling into round

stock or pipe. The "quill" motion of the Drill

Press can help you achieve greater tool-to

workpiece precision on the Table Saw and Disc

Sander. Because this exclusive "borrowing"

feature lets you saw an angle, for example
