"although you can select 6 or twelve months in the digital subscription, what that actually means is you can have six or 13 issues in any order, backwards, forwards or just cherry pick the ones that interest you." 

Both virtual and digital forms of Furniture & Cabinetmaking Magazine
can be found in 
North America through Lightning Publications.

Digital versions are vailable through Pocket Mags, a European digital magazine distributor.

Let me take this opportunity to thank Anne Briggs for her article about me in Furniture & Cabinetmaking Magazine. Anne spent a good deal of time asking me questions and then, with editor Derek Jones, turned that interview into an article. I'd always hoped people would liken me to The Man of Steel but okay, Iron Man will have to do. Either way, I'm extremely flattered.

Did I spill any new beans for Anne? Not really, nothing shocking or new. But I gave a few opinions I normally hold close to the vest, and appreciated the chance and context to share some thoughts on craft, making tools, and sticking-to-it all these years. Thanks, Anne!

Of course, if you find you need anything from Hock Tools, please let me know.

Sincerely,
