My, how the membership has grown!

Hi all,

Last time I was here (December 2002) it was a bit quiet ... Now some four and a half years later you have increased the membership and seem to have a good feeling going on. I think will be sticking around for a bit.

It's good to see that Nick (Gibbs) has picked up the ashes of one of the Magazines and looks like he is going to produce something that is worth reading.

Having been heavily involved in writing for several of the 'Other titles' I, among others, have walked away from what was becoming merry-go-round of being pushed to producing articles to appease advertisers...

Still, all that is behind me now but I was wondering who buys the other Magazines and what you like about them.

Woody.

Hi Woody

Glad that you've come back.

Do you mind telling us who you are?

Cheers,

Welcome back Ralph!

I've missed being able to respond to your daily puzzlers elsewhere. Do read often, though.

Take care, Mike

Hi Ralph

Hi Neil, not at all, My real name is Ralph Laughton....

Ah, now I know. I had thought that you were still part of the takeover.

Cheers,
Neil

Neil,

I was never part of any 'take-over' I am freelance that way my opinions are my own and if I don't like something I say so. The problem is that more often than not it does not get published for fear of upsetting someone. I have written for several publishers both here in the UK and in America. Some of the stuff that has been appearing in recent editions of Practical Woodworking are just extracts from an American book.

Ralph.

Trouble with you JFC is you shoot your mouth off to quickly, you ought to learn to keep it zipped, like what I do....... :lol: :lol:

 

[Woody]

Sorry, bad choice of words. As I had seen you published recently, I assumed that you were still working with the new magazine.

Cheers,
Neil

Hello stranger and welcome (back) to the fold! How've you been keeping?

We've lost Steve and Coggy whilst Simuk is only an occasional visitor these days, but they're still lumbered with me :roll:

Woody.

Is that why my articles kept being returned? They were just individual pieces? Or the American market is different..
