The latest issue showed up a couple of days ago. Two articles interested me, and both were excellent except for the tiny tiny pictures. I could hardly make out some of the details in the router article pictures.

I know their is limited space in the magazine. Fewer articles with bigger pictures? Maybe bigger pictures could be stored online someplace? Other options? Maybe I need more powerful glasses.

Other than the pictures, I think the magazine is a great resource and I really enjoy it. Hope I didn't offend anybody.
 
I think that all of us old guys have the same problem. Haven't seen any detail in those small photos for years. :(
Even worse right now - just had cataract surgery on my second eye 3 days ago. Hoping for improvement in the next month or so.
 
I would contact Josh and give him some feedback. I'm sure it's a game he plays trying to give as much info in the articles as possible but of course to do that means the photos get smaller. He is limited in the number of pages. I just finished reading mine. Found the story on Barbara Dill and Suster Sara to be very interesting. Also enjoyed the article on using the router on the lathe but did find the photos a little small on that one.

I'm sure that is the case, John ..... more content. I just started reading your article on Captured Rings this morning while eating breakfast. Will finish reading it tomorrow at breakfast (hard to hold a fork, magnifying glass, and coffee cup at the same time :)) . Congratulations - and thanks for passing on your knowledge!
