Magazine (I am forced to buy)

[richard poitras]

My daughter is 9 years old and her school is selling (more or less making them sell magazines for school ,you know the drill) so here’s my dilemma since I need to buy a subscription from her which one of these magazines in your opinion would be the best one to get, here are my only three options/picks:…

1. American Woodworker
2. Popular Woodworking
3. Woodworker’s Journal

Thanks Richard

[David Christopher]

out of the three I would get popular woodworking

[Matt Ranum]

I subscribe to PW, I look forward to each issue.

[Tom Veatch]

I would rank them in order:
1 PW
2 WJ
3 AW

[Curt Harms]

for me it'd be a coin toss between the other two.

[Randal Stevenson]

While I would also say PW, why not hit your local libraries tomorrow and compare them?

Another option, if you don't have the interest in them month to month, is send them someplace (example, Dr.'s office), that you get board, while waiting to be seen/helped/etc. (when you start finding magazines a repeat, this becomes a good thing)

[Mike Heidrick]

I just bring my own WW magazines to the dr office or dentist.

[Chris Friesen]

I vote for PopWood. They've got projects that I would actually like to build, and a nice mix of hand and power tools.

Getting "board", is that an insider wood working pun? :D:D:D:D

My choice in order...AW, PW, then WWJ. AW and PW both tend to have more articles I like than WWJ.

[Matt Meiser]

Pop Woodworkrking, then maybe American Woodworker. WWJ is just a giant Rockler ad you have to pay for the pleasure of receiving.

What Matt said.

WWJ is just a big Rockler catalog. I always feel like the article is just trying to sell me something.

I like PopWood. More for the fact I like what the people their are doing to advance the hobby. Like the Woodworking in America shows.

[Joe Vincent]

Another vote strongly in favor of Popular Woodworking.

[richard poitras]

Looks like Popular Woodworking has the greatest number of votes :) so that’s what I ordered, thanks for the replies…

On almost any given day, a year to WWJ is $12.75. To do a comparison of prices for the other two go to "Magazine price search.com". This will tell what the current "street" price is. But REMEMBER that the school gets about 40% of the subscription price. When my grand kids were selling mag. subscriptions, this is how I renewed mine. I just had to remember that 40% was going to school, if price was more than street price. Usually they weren't more.
