Boy, you’re a lucky man! Are you going to digitize them into .pdf? That’s a joke, of course, nothing like paper in the hands. Someone told me once that paper was made of wood. Ridiculous, I replied.

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

Would you mind summarizing them, and then posting your thoughts here ??

Thanks much !

Just think of all the trees it took to make all those magazines, and what a great room full of furniture it could have been, if things had gone differently ;-)

In summary I WOOD have to say, besides hauling another SIX boxes (mostly books this time) home today, that this WOOD have to be my biggest WW score EVER!

Again, I can’t get over repeating that this is truly amazing to have someone’s entire WW lifetime collection of magazines, books, and guides covering all aspects of WW, turning, carving, clock-making, router projects, bandsaw projects, jigs, wood types/recognition/research, power tool techniques, ShopSmith Guides/Projects, fine cabinet making, Shaker Furniture, Pine Projects, and other specific furniture styles, etc.

To say the least, it looks like my NEXT project(s) will be looking at building suitable shelving to hold all of this stuff. My guess is that it will take 8-10 4ft shelves to hold/display everything.

I don’t have room in the house to keep all this so I am looking for ideas that would allow me to:
1. Store this stuff in the shop
2. Keep it sawdust free (covered) while stored, or on the shelving
3. Keep it easy to access/organize/browse
4. Yeah, I know the answer i in one of the mags or books, but in what chapter and what page number? 8-O

Camper has the right storage answer – Barrister bookcases. They are a very nice woodworking project. Just in case you are not familiar with them they are the bookcases with a glass front on each shelf. They were designed to protect a lawyers books. If you design each shelf as a separate stackable box they are also very portable.
