I recieved my copy in the post yesterday (Thanks for sending that out so quickly Nick). And I have to say that I'm quite impressed with the content. Although I managed to read most of the articles in the last issue, I didn't actually get chance to buy it and re-read through it so this was my first chance to really dig into the mag and see what's what.
The two features that stand out for me are the 'Foundations' section - which is excellent for relative newcomers like myself, and the 'Country Carpenter' that was a really good read.
It's nice to see the forum getting a few mentions.
Quite timely was the article by David Savage on using Sycamore. I've recently bought a fair bit of this wood with the intentions of a number of projects, so there was some good reading there.
Overall, I really like the layout - it feels more professional than GW but not as 'designer' as F&C so for me its a good balance. I like the spread of features as well and the writing is good too.
Obviously being a new mag it's a little light, BUT what is in there for me is still worth the money and I guess over time we'll see more projects and equally good articles.
Good work Nick, lets hope the future issues continue this trend.
