We've set the standard of excellence thai many have aspired to. and our unique mix of stimulating projects and informative features has produced strong reader loyalty.

More than any thing. Jim McQuillan wanted to see The Woodworker's Journal continue to grow, going oil 10 be bigger and better, with more of the kinds of projects and features you've told us you like the most. Today, thank-, to PJS, that desire w ill become a reality. And Jim remains our consultant to help further that dream.
