Magazine shortage

barnesrickw · Jan 20, 2014

Coming from a woodworking background, and enjoying a wealth of magazines, and an overwhelming amount of blogs, forums and web pages, I can't help notice the lack of the same for metalworking. Two magazines in all of Barnes & Noble. So either there aren't that many hobby metalworkers, or publishers assume we don't read. I'm thankful for forums.

Villiage press Publishes four Magazines.

Home shop Machinist
Machinists workshop (Formerly projects in Metal)
Digital Machinist
Live steam.

Mike Remus still publishes Model engine builder but it is now a digital magazine.
In the UK Model engineer and Model engineers workshop are published.

I just bought the first two on your list at Barnes & Nobel. I've never seen the live steam one, and I think I just got an email for the digital magazine. That gives me more to look into, but do you see what I mean about it being on the lower end of availability?

I've found that a most of the magazines available here have a lot of content on model train making, that's fine if that's your interest, but if not a lot of pages are wasted on the next installment of how to make a certain train.

As Tin said those are some of the magazines you can get. What you need to look at is what do you want to learn, machining, models, engines, planes then start using the search engines to find what you might like to do. I'm on 6 different forums and they are all different, I've got got close to 40gig of files downloaded with how to's, build plans, manuals for machines, and a lot of information. If you what something special tell us there are a lot of people on here with a lot of different sources. Just ask if we can I'm someone can help point you in the right direction.
