Article reprints from Woodturning magazine?

[John Torchick]

I was a bit late getting to the party. One of my recent issues had the fourth installment on box making by Richard Findley; Issue 415 which was my first one. Can't find anything for their email except for advertising, subscriptions, etc. Anyone know how to contact them? TIA.

You might try going to your public library and see if they can get copies of the articles through interlibrary loan. I've gotten a lot that way.

@Richard Findley is a member of this forum. Maybe he can be reached directly.

Doubt if any local library would have a British publication. Will see if I can contact Richard.

Many public libraries are part of the interlibrary loan system. They can borrow books or get copies of articles from other libraries across the US. That is the entire point of the interlibrary system -- local libraries have limited holdings. Loans come from university or public libraries nationwide. Through the local library, I've gotten copies of articles from international journals, and borrowed many books, for periods ranging from several weeks to a couple months, depending on what the lending library decides. One book I got through the system was loaned to me for 11 MONTHS from a university library (in French, on middle class housing in medieval Cairo -- definitely esoteric but it does show just how much you can get through the system).

You can check Worldcat to see what libraries in the US hold a given item, such as Woodturning magazine.

Hi, I’ve just seen this. Pocket mags has it for online copies, I assume you can get past issues too. You can get back issues from GMC, try This link

Hope that helps

Thanks, Richard.

Ordered three issues; bit high for shipping to US but IMO, all the articles in them would be worth it.

I subscribe to Woodturning via the PocketMags app and get digital issues for ~$3 per issue/month. The app and website permit printing 3-4 pages at a time and I do that for articles I really enjoy - namely those of @Richard Findley and Colwin Way. Digital back issues are very reasonable. It’s a great deal to me and I enjoy that publication much more than the forum-named journal.

Richard, if I may ask without taking over this thread, how do contributors like yourself decide if your articles stay with the publisher or if they can be distributed by you as digital files? Contracts? I see, in the woodturning community, variations where some authors have their published article for free download on a website and many do not. Of course, as an AAW member, I downloaded your apple article from the site and distributed 6 print copies to a group of students I was teaching your specific topic. This seems quite different to me than having a published article available as a download to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Just curious and looking for the horse’s mouth perspective.

Hi Scott

When you write an article you generally have to sign a contract to say that the content is original and that the publisher has rights to use part or all of the content as they see fit in the future. I’m not sure authors are actually allowed to make the articles available for free download because the publishers technically own the content.

I’m not sure if you should technically copy an article and distribute it (although I’m glad you found it helpful!) - not that it bothers me, but the publishers ‘own’ the content so you’re technically giving away their property. But honestly, it’s a legal minefield and Woodturning is a small enough community that everyone is quite chilled out about things (I don’t expect you to get a letter from a lawyer for handing out copies )

Hope that somewhat answers your question

I have seem a disclaimer that allows quoting short passages for review, provided the source is stated. But copying is forbidden by any means present or future means.
