ryandetzel Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 http://www.woodstore.net/cowomacoondv.html I thought it would be easier to find plans but it's a pain in the ass. I'll use the website to browse their plans and when I find one I then need to try and figure out what issue it was in. Any tips on this?

ChetlovesMer Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Are you sure you are searching in the disc directory and not the issue directory? I have collected the CD versions (each CD is 5 years worth of magazines) and find it pretty easy to search the entire CD with the keyword search. I can search 5 years of Wood magazine to look for something like "Toys" if I'm looking for plans for a toy or "Miter Saw" if I want plans for a Miter Saw station or what ever. Granted if you search for Miter Saw you also get reviews of Miter Saws in your search, but really I've found the CD's really easy to use and I find myself going to them time and time again. Instead of using the website, maybe try just sticking the DVD in and going to the start here page. Then click on the table of contents for the whole disk, not a particular issue, try using the search bar at the top and it should guide you to articles (including plans) on what ever you searched for. Give it a shot and let me know if it gets easier. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryandetzel Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 For example I found this on the site(http://www.woodstore.net/modshopcabsy.html) and I want to check out the plans but I can't find it in the magazine. Were all the plans in the magazine at one point or do they have stuff online that were not in the magazine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at lots of plans and descriptions on the Wood site and that's the first one I've seen that doesn't say which issue it was published in. I would guess that some of the plans are not first published in the Mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetlovesMer Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 That article is in the November 1997 Wood magazine. I just put the word "modular" in the ariticle search on my CD and ta-da! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
