I got notice it'll be ready for preorder next week. I liked the first one but am not sure that I'll do the next one or not. Anybody else on the fence?

Nope, no fence sitting. Going to order.

After reading the first issue, I will pass. The contents are not what I am interested in, not saying the magazine is bad or something.

I am with Simon. I thought it was interesting, and certainly a different take that most other ww magazines, but wasn't really what I was interested in.

I will definitely be ordering it. This issue will be a great one; interviews with the owner of Liberty Tool, Chris Schwarz and his Roman benches, an interview with me (full disclosure), etc. The first issue was a little more esoteric than this one is shaping up to be. I truly believe this issue will raise the already-high bar that Joshua set with the first one.

I'll probably order one. I agree the first issue was somewhat esoteric, but I'm not going to judge a periodical based on only one issue. If you're not into period furniture, I don't think M&T will hold much interest to you. I'm not into period furniture, but I am a history buff, so I do find M&T an interesting read. It is a very well-done magazine.
From their website:
"M&T is an annual print magazine celebrating the preservation, research, and recreation of historic furniture."

I'll probably get it. I really enjoyed the last issue, but I thought there was some room for improvement--as there always is with a startup like this. Rich photography is great, but I wanted a few more captions explaining what we were looking at. I expect we'll see good things in issue #2.

I enjoyed the first one and am happy to see some variation in the rag world. The theme intrigues me. I'll definitely spring for another issue.

I really enjoyed reading the first issue and look forward to the second. I also had the opportunity to attend one of his demonstrations at the woodworking shows in Saratoga Springs. It was a super class and demonstrated techniques discussed in the first issue. I learned a lot from both.
