Any interest in back issues of woodworking magazines? - wood2woodknot - 06-09-2018
I have back issues of several subscriptions to woodworking magazines taking up shelf space. Are there any disabled veteran groups or other groups that could benefit from them? I hate to see them end up on garbage mountain or in a paper recycling bin if they can be of use to someone.
Local pick up or drop off (Cincinnati Tri-State area) would be ideal because postage is expensive. I think it cost nearly $40 to ship 100 issues of a carving magazine by USPS flat rate several years ago. However, if something can be worked out, distance would not matter.
I have not yet counted what I have, but I can say most issues are from the past 4-5 years. Titles include Wood, Woodworkers Journal, Popular Woodworking, and Woodcraft magazines.
If anyone has suggestions for a second life for these magazines, please PM me.

Great idea Al.
Why not contact your local VA?

Also check with local woodworking clubs. I do seminars for various clubs around SW Florida and several have their own “lending library” of magazines that the group share.

Agree - contact local schools (from HS to Technical Colleges) that have woodworking programs/courses - Dave

Check with Arlin. I sent him 2 boxes filled, he was most appreciative. It felt good,

All of my magazines, woodworking and otherwise, go to a thrift shop that supports a local pet rescue organization.
If you ship them USPS, check on "media rate". It's slow, but probably a lot cheaper than flat rate.

Thanks for the ideas, especially BobW's about media rate. Still open to ideas/requests.

Well, check your local library for their suggestions and/or donate to local doctor's & dentist's offices - would love to read a WW mag while waiting for an appointment vs. the usual stuff at those places!

I was asking for them awhile back but we are now full of them.
If I could please suggest taking them to the VA hospital or VA clinic they would LOVE to look and read them. Matter of fact they take a lot of them home with them since I seen one guy take home one of the ones I donated. Nice to see to.
