I had a great hangout today!
As I announced recently, I invited the Publisher and Editors of Popular Woodworking Magazine to join me in a Google+ Hangout on Air.
Joining me in the hangout today were:
- Kevin Ireland, Publisher
- Matthew Teague, Editor
- Robert (Bob) Lang, Executive Editor
- Steve Shanesy, Senior Editor, and
- Megan Fitzpatrick, Managing Editor.
We talked about:
- The upcoming Woodworking in America conferences in Pasadena, CA, and in Cincinatti, OH
- Changes to the organization in the last 9-10 months.
- The recently-launched videos of Roy Underhill’s The Woodwright’s Shop.
- Hand tools vs. power tools.
- Table saw safety.
- I forgot to ask Steve about the decision on the Moser table! Sorry Steve!
My thanks to all participants – and my best wishes for a wonderful year in 2012. I hope to see you at one of the upcoming Woodworking in America conferences!

Nice idea Al. I had a chance to watch a portion of this. It was fun to hear voices with faces, and hear some of their personal stories and perspectives.
I am down to two magazines now, Popular Woodworking and Fine Woodworking. I hope that both continue to hold the interest of their current readers and new too.
Thanks again!
Thanks for watching the hangout, John. I am glad you are liking the series! I believe both magazines are doing their best to hold our attention, and also producing good content. It will be interesting to see how things develop in the end.
