Hi Guys
I like paper catalogues, please note the English spelling, but I only keep
ones with sentimental value or that I feel are important/interesting and
among those I include Craft Supplies, Woodcraft & Lee Valley Tools.
I have kept all the Legacy copies and I know why Andy stopped producing
them, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ as simple as that. A typical print run cost over $50K
and the thought was that the web would be more versatile and informative.
The move to investing in the web certainly achieved those goals but it also
has its costs. I am certain that in the long run Legacy will not save money
but they will get the information to a much larger audience than they did
using the magazine.
I would agree with Jeff that you can review items of interest via the web.
Now for instance I am an avid reader and I will often Google an item that I
have read about in a book, this applies to non-fiction primarily but it does
help sometimes with historical fiction. For instance I was recently reading
a book about aerial photo-reconnaissance in World War II and the base for it
in the UK was at Danesfield, this was a country house that was
requisitioned near Marlow in England and some 8 miles from where I live.
With the aid of the book and the extra information that Google provided I
increased my local knowledge and because I was interested in the landscape
was even able to go back to when the stone age tribes lived there. Just to
keep the balance right the USAAF had a unit at Danesfield but in due course
that moved out to a base near the City of Oxford. One final item, General
Eisenhower is quoted as saying that the efforts of the folks at Danesfield
reduce the length of WWII and lowered allied losses.
So don't forget to Google!
Regards
Euro Roger

Curt I only partially agree with you about paper catalog being better. The
paper catalog you can dog ear a page and look at it a week latter. On a
computer yes you can place it in favorite places and find it but only if you
are on the same computer.
One thing I like about the computer is you can get a video of how do do most
things, but the down fall is most people cannot keep a video, if the
directions come on paper you can keep them.
Another thing I like about on line is if you find something you are
interested in you can do research get reviews does the item hold up, has the
company been around any length of time, does the company stand behind the
product. you can look at the competition and see how that product stands to
what your looking at, you can also check to see if a newer model is
available and what improvements have been made.

Well? Thank you Roger. I honestly do not know why that is happening. but
your copy and past works for me too.
But the weird part is my files work for me, before I posted them.
I too own all the original paper copies and I keep them in a folder for
quick reference. I remember calling Tracy and being very mad that he was
stopping the printed version, He told me that the New web site would be
better and offer more to the customers. "well" all that I can say is that
they tried, Pass,Win,or Fail, they did try.
My wife tells me that I'm to young to be acting so old, But I am the kid
who LIVED for the Sears Catalog,page by page Dreaming of all the
possibilities that the pages offered, I like paper, not computer files,
But I guess that this group could not exist on a Snail Mail basis, Could
it? ;-)
The magazines do offer a lot to our members, The articles are good and
offer incite and depth to the use of there machinery (Legacy Ornamental
Mill.) It offers Something to our group that the newer generation of
Legacy owners will not have. Nostalgia. ;-p
Have a good night. Its been a long day for me.
Talk to you all latter.
C.A.G. ;-)

Hi Curt
That is most useful to a lot of people, I am lucky in that I have all of
them as originals.
One point, if you click on the links I found they failed but when I
copied and pasted them they worked OK.

One more little tid-bit of usefull info.
PLAY As much as you can with your machine before starting an inporant
project. scrap or junk wood is best,( I use fire wood,or tree limbs for
pratice.but cut offs 2x2's and 4x4's will work just as well for you.) If
you are playing around with the turning process, why waist good wood
($$$),on something that will end up in the trash.
Take Bills advice and check out our archives, as well as Legacy
magazine articals (also in the archives) for good turning advice. I would
suggest to read Climb mill vs undercutting, Legacy buillders mag. vol.1.
Have a great day.
C.A.G.
