Question for Bob Duncan - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

journeyman · 11-06-2009, 06:18 PM

Hi Bob,
I would like to ask a question that has maybe been brought up before. Is it possible to publish the SSWC magazine online for download. I have been on the forum for almost a year now but have not subscibed to the mag yet, but I do intend to. The reason I ask about an on line version is that I live in the UK and it seems that people in Europe and some other countries get thier issues late. There would obviously still have to be a subscription fee applicable but it would be a way to get around the mailing laws. Just a thought from a guy with very little idea of the technicalities of doing this. If this is a stupid question then I appologise.
Mick

Hi Mick,
It's something we're discussing. We want to get both of the magazine websites up to date (we're finishing up this one and then we'll be moving on to the WCI site) and then we'll take a harder look at a digital edition.

Rick (and other UK customers) Guild of Master Craftsmen out of the UK acts as a sub agent for us. We send a bulk shipment over and they drop to individual subscribers in the UK. Your subscription is with them - not us - they just tell us how many magazines they want.

Contact Us @ GMC Publications

The magazine is not listed on their website - you'll have to send them an e-mail to inquire about it.
