Not able to access AW Journals

I am a member,and this morn.aug. 11th, i was unable to view past AW journals.Anything i need to be aware of? Thanks Rob

Hello Rob,
You need to use your membership number to create a password. Once you have successfully created the password, then you have access to the Members' Only area of the AAW website. That area has the online Journals, all 25 years of them. Only the more recent issues have advertising section. Additionally, all of the links from the ads, woodturners' websites, AAW announcements, applications for EOG, etc. are live. Just click on the link, and you should be taken directly to what's being discussed. You could while away endless hours, have fun!

The membership directory is also accessible once you are in the Members' Only area.

And don't forget to VOTE in the Board election !!!

I had this issue a few days ago. I asked about it on the forum and was told that other folks could access the online journals. I logged out and logged back in. This fixed it for me.

Good Luck
