On Another Magazine Cover - Woodworking Crafts issue 75!

 Each month I get sent the magazines I have articles in. I look forward to opening the envelope and seeing my article in there (which I later cut out and keep in a folder). 

But I was utterly surprised when I opened it yesterday to pull out the most recent copy of Woodworking Crafts to find myself on the cover! 


In this issue I'd written a piece about making the rose arch for my garden and without telling me they'd put one of the pictures on the front cover! I was gobsmacked! I have to admit to quite liking this picture, I look like a proper woodworker! 

Two magazines in the newsagents with my mug on at the same time! What an honour!

  2. Just had to pop in to say you should be so very proud! Methinks we are soon all going to be able to say that we "knew" you and enjoyed following your blog posts before you became famous! Congratulations!

  5. Big Congrats! But here's something that has happened to me that keeps us humble: I used to write quite a bit for a couple of woodworking magazines in the US. A year ago, one of the editors asked for my permission to rerun some of my older articles. Why? Well, he said their younger readers had never heard of me, so my stuff would be all new to them!!! One of those days when you feel really really old.... Keep up the good work.
