Magazines with woodworking content:  Popular Woodworking [frequency?] 1985-; American Woodworker [frequency?]1985-; Woodworking [every two months], 1987-; Woodwork [quarterly, then every two months, then monthly] 1989-; Modern Woodworking [every two months] 1989-; Wood Magazine 1984 (By June, 1988, WM boasted "450,000 readers", and by September, 1994, 2.9 million readers, although how those numbers are calculated is not given. See page 6, Issue 23, Wood Magazine June 1988 and page 104, Wood Magazine no 72, September, 1994.)

Shopsmith's Hands On was launched late in 1979. By February 18, 1982 -- in its statement of ownership, management and circulation --  Shopsmith claimed a circulation of 1,100,000 for Hands On!

Woodworker's Manuals 1981-1990 -- more and more frequently, copies of woodworker's manuals are being digitized and uploaded to the Internet by Google Books. I try to keep up with these events, and indicate appropriately the titles of woodworker's manuals that can be read on the Web, but it is a large job, so I ask that readers inform me if they encounter web-based manuals.
