Book
Readers tell us that
Fine Wo odworking
is more than a magazine-it's a reference source they keep coming back to. Each issue
contains timeless information that is hard or impossible to ind elsewhere and won't be repeated in
Fine Wo odworking
. You
can have all this information, because the ten back issues are now available for your shop.
The irst
Biennial Design Book
is something else again. Composed of
600
photographs drawn fr om more than
8000

ted by readers, the book shows the great diversity of woodworking being done today. Some of the pieces are traditional, most
are contemporary, and some skillfully blend the two. All are highly creative.

To
our readers:
I'm pleased to announce that
Fine Wo odworking
will be
published six times a year instead of four , beginning with our
next issue, Sept.
'78
(No.
12).
Many readers have been asking
for more frequent publication ever since the magazine began
in late
1975.
But we waited until we were sure we could ind
enough good articles to increase our editorial content a full
50%
with absolutely no loss in quality. The number ofwood­
workers who wish to write about what they do and how they
do it continues to astonish us, and because we'll be able to
cover more diverse topics in even greater detail, we're now
sure that publishing more pages per year will make a better
magazine. Of course, we'll continue to use our present high­
quality paper and printing.
Henceforth, we'll be mailing
Fine Wo odworking
in Sep­
tember, November, January, March, May and July.
To offset in part the cost of more issues, our U.S. subscrip­
tion price has gone up from
$9
a year to
$12
a year, and to
$22
for a two-year subscription. The Canadian rate is
$14
a
year in U.S. dollars. For all other countries, a one-year sub­
scription is
$15,
again in U.S. dollars. Subscriptions now in
efect will be honored on a term basis, not on an issue basis. If
you've paid through the end of
1979,
for example, you'll still
receive all the issues published between now and then, and
thus you'll get some copies fr ee. Our newsstand price will re­
main at
$2.50

in two areas. The irst was in the discussion of the period of a
pendulum. The formula given is the period of a simple or
mathematical pendulum. This pendulum is defined as a par­
ticle suspended from a fi xed point by a weightless, inexten­
sible cord. A clock pendulum its a physical or real pendulum

It's true!
Shopsmith owners are so devoted
o
their Mark V's
that some have even demonstrated them at regular meetings
of their local service clubs. Military personnel have taken
their Mark V's with them when they change duty stations.
Others have decided to make special trips to our factory,
just to visit with us -- and you're invited to do the same at
any time you choose.

you?It means that we're a "family"
of owners and employees who are extremely faithful to the
Shop smith product. Ask our owners
how they feel about the Mark V and
they'll not only TELL you, they'll prob­
ably try to SELL you on why you
should own one! How many other prod­
ucts can you think of that command
this kind of respect and dedication?

It's a
When you set your Shopsmith up to operate as
one tool, you can "borrow" features usually
associated with the other four tools. For exam­
ple: The Rip Fence on the Table Saw works as a
backstop when drilling dowel holes-or as a
guide for parallel edge sanding with the Disc
Sander-or as a "V-jig" for drilling into round
stock or pipe. The "quill" motion of the Drill
Press can help you achieve greater tool-to­
workpiece precision on the Table Saw and Disc
Sander. Because this exclusive "borrowing"
feature lets you saw an angle, for example
... sand the same angle youjust sawed and drill
the same angle you just sanded (all using the
same set-up), the built-in precision never
varies!
The Mark V is not a
"toy" or a "gimmick"!

Mark V will wind up doing nothing well, think
again! The innovative engineering of the Mark
