I’ve got a bunch of FH magazines to get rid of. Any suggestions anyone?
Seems like it’d be painful to sell them 1 or 2 at a time. Would like to move the whole lot.
Approx 150……….some early black & white covers. Just cleaning out, trying to make some room.
I’m in central CT. Wouldn’t mind shipping them, but would have to break them into 2 boxes, this one is about 100 lbs.

Rod - I'm trying to put together a collection of back issues, and I'd love to have 'em. How much?

Let me take a count over the weekend and get a better idea how many there are.I'm thinking .......... a buck apiece plus shipping.Sound fair? Rod
If he doesn't end up taking them I'm interested.
Yes, I'd like them. But I have a lot, I could post a list of what I have, and you're welcome to the one's I've already got.View Image “Good work costs much more than poor imitation or factory product†– Charles GreeneCaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
I responded to your email awhile back, but haven't heard from you since then. Am still awaiting total cost, with shipping, to zip code 93307. Thanks! HuckView Image “Good work costs much more than poor imitation or factory product†– Charles GreeneCaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
hello? hello? ya still there?
CaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
yeah, sorry Huck. Family is in from all over so haven't time to check postal rates. A couple more days and they'll be gone, and things get back to normal. Rod
Sorry I've been slow getting back to you - been real busy, trying to dig myself out of a hole! Check is in the mail. Thanks again. View Image “Good work costs much more than poor imitation or factory product†– Charles GreeneCaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
Check is in the mail?
dang, not again!
Peaceful,easy feelin'.
Proverbial check is in the proverbial mail, if it doesn't show up, let me know and I'll catch you first thing on the next 90 day cycle.View Image “Good work costs much more than poor imitation or factory product†– Charles GreeneCaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
Just in case the first set goes and you still want a set -- I have a whole set from issue #1 -- I'll go through them this weekend and see which ones I am missing and get a weight -- I'm in DC so if anyone is coming this way it would save considerable on the postage -- All the Best Dudley
Would you part with just #1 through #22 ?
I have all the others
Bowz
Bowz -- I might -- let's see how this plays out and if I get an offer from someone who what's the whole package -- I have no idea of the value of 1-22 -- do you have a ball park figure others have paid for these -- not saying they are collectors items but they have a lot of sentimental value to me -- I just need the space on the bookself -- also have the same for Fine Woodworking -- TKS for stepping up to the plate - Dudley
Dudley,
I filled in some missing copies from someone here and I think I paid $1 or $1.50 for individual copies. He did not have an entire collection, just individual copies he was going to toss. Couple years ago I seem to recall an entire collection went for around $300.
See what becomes of this, but keep it in mind. They don't have to be in "collector" shape. I still use them for reference.
Bowz
Bowz -- OK -- let me dust them off this weekend and I'll contact you again on Monday and see if we can reach an agreement -- just wish I did to have to break the set up -- you are the only one coming along; so, I'll work with you
I won't be at a computer from Saturday morning until Tuesday late.
But I am thinking of taking the whole batch, anyway. Let me ponder it over the weekend also. (I know some young carps, I could borrow mine to and I wouldn't have to get too worked up if they didn't come back.)
Shipping on the chainsaw mill and bars I sent to Matt Swanger ran about $23 for a 38lb package.

Specify Media Mail - it should be significantly cheaper. Only stipulation is it has to be printed matter, no personal letters or notes included.View Image “Good work costs much more than poor imitation or factory product†– Charles GreeneCaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
Checked in at UPS $55.00 for 70 lbs. So I'm thinking 2 70 lb boxes..........$110.00 sounds steep to me but it's been a long time since I've shipped anything.Asked the post office about media rates, said he couldn't even
price it until it was boxed and ready to go.........not even an estimate Rod
If you're looking at two 70 lb boxes, you ought to be able to do your own estimating. If you go to http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/senditwithintheus/mediamail.htmyou can follow through from "Calculate Postage" to "Calculate Domestic Postage" to "Package." From the picture you posted, it doesn't look like you'd need a box bigger than 12x12x12 to send half of the magazines, so the "Large Package" wouldn't apply. (Most likely the reason you couldn't get an estimate is because with a "Large Package" you also have to plug in the package dimensions.)Plugging in 70 lb and 0 oz (for some reason a blank isn't acceptable, the zero oz has to be filled in) and Connecticut and California Zip Codes, Media Mail comes to $25.59 per box. 50 lb would be $18.79. You can fine tune it when you get everything boxed and weighed. It should be pretty close.Dan
Like DanG said, media mail is significantly less. Generally not good to ship magazines in heavy packages, much safer to break down into smaller groups of a few pounds each. Local bookstore should have plenty of smaller magazine-sized boxes. Packing much easier that way also - to properly protect a large heavy box (like 50-70 lbs.) you would need a wood crate, cardboard is not generally adequate, unless you triple-box it maybe.
My wife sells books and magazines on internet, we pack and ship daily. A large, heavy box of mags is almost a guarantee of damage in transit.
Email me the total, along with your mailing address. I'll send a check with my mailing address.
Thanks!View Image “Good work costs much more than poor imitation or factory product†– Charles GreeneCaliforniaRemodelingContractor.com
Got them all boxed up, ready to go. 6 boxes, 20 plus mags apiece. Taped the beejeezus outa them.Need your address, I'll ship 'em and shoot you a total. Rod
Done! Thanks, I'll send a check as soon as you send the total. - Huck
(P.S. - be sure to emphasize MEDIA MAIL to the post office!)

Bowz -- ok -- the set I have for magazines 1-22 is missing number six -- parcel post to Oskosh WI for these $14.53 or Media @ $6.55 ( I believe theses qualify as media) from zip code 20815 DC Area to 54901 Oshkosh, WI. The 21 magazines weight 13.5 pounds unboxed -- Thinking the later ones are thicker and the weight would go up -- Sell the 21 for $45 if sent at the media rate.
Would be great if you had someone coming to the DC area - school group etc, Spring Time, and they could get them to you -- have not weighed the whole set but guessing it is 120 pounds -- I'll have the exact weight and any that are missing by Tuesday.
Let me know which way you want to go and we'll work something out -- Dudley
Ok have 1-22 gone anyone interested in what is left?

OK, I'll do the first 22 (missing #6) for the $45.
Somebody else had jumped in looking for the bunch that Huck bought, so let him have a shot at the rest first.
E-mail me an address and I'll get it out this week yet.
Bowz
When I will be ready to part with my collection I intend to offer them to a local library or high school shop or high school technical department that teaches building trades. I think the magazines have so much to offer to budding building trade students. Think of how many young minds you will be helping to develop.
