Hi Ed!
The Editor in me needs to make a suggestion.....
I don't know who sets up the 'sneak peek' web page, but typographically it could use just a small tweak......The current display format suggests far more topics/articles than are actually included in the Journal.
It seems (at least in the 'Features' section) that the topics as presently listed should not all be separate bullet points - for example the first two points listed are related to the (apparently same) article on Giles Gilson, and should not be separate bullet points; the second line should be subordinate to the first bullet point.
Similarly the third and 4th bullet points are apparently on the same article as well (sharpening with Lacer & Wright); 5th and 6th on tape measure, etc.
Possible format:
o Giles Gilson – The AAW Recognizes an Innovative Genius
---- Terry Martin takes a look at the rich career of Giles Gilson
o Refining the Edge: Skews and Gouges
---- Improve your turned surfaces with simple sharpening techniques by Alan Lacer with Jeryl Wright
o Transform Your Tape Measure
---- John Giem shows how to create an elegant case for your tape measure
etc. (where 'o' = bullet)
This would be a more realistic listing of topics......
FWIW,
Rob Wallace

It is good to know that someone actually reads this stuff. You have done well Grasshopper - corrections made.
Rob,
I saw all that and thought that the authors were doing double duty and that Betty was applying her best editorial leverage!

I read through it and was confused so I just decided to wait for the magazine.
John, i wonder if they will show us how to get the tape out of container, course i have several sizes of hammers/sledges/mauls 😀
maybe someone (Bill Tison, maybe) could make a tape measue incorporated into a turning, i like the stems for the flowers he does, he also has done some collaberations, i'm sure someone will/has done something with a tape 😛
