Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.
I buy it mostly for the pictures.
A little, but not much. Got out of the habit of reading for a while. Now eyes are better, but it's hard to get back into reading.
"Banning books in spite of the 1st amendment, but refusing to regulate guns in spite of "well regulated militia' being in the 2nd amendment makes no sense. Can't think of anyone ever shot by a book
Yeah, I read it.
I do. Maybe not cover to cover every issue, but most of it.

Not yet.
There’s a magazine, now?
Of course.
Also the sister publication Professional Boatbuilder.
Also the various ancillary publications.

Man!
What's more important than WB magasine?
I read it from the first to the last page of the paper édition.
Always learning a lot.
I do. I try to close my eyes at the pictures. The articles are wonderful.
“Aren’t you supposed to be the gentlemen who lie for the good of their country?”
“That’s diplomats. We’re not gentlemen.”
“So you lie to save your hides.”
That’s politicians. Different game entirely.”
I still have my subscription (have had it for about 40 years), but I admit I don't send as much time with an issue as I used to. The earlier issues all but smelled like tar and hemp. The new issues are a bit glossy.

"Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others." - Groucho Marx
I've been subscribing since issue #17. I read each new issue bit by bit to make last.
I don't save them, though.
I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.
Skiing is the next best thing to having wings.
Yes.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,
for nature cannot be fooled."
Richard Feynman
emphatically, yes.
Yup! And I just renewed my subscription.
As I will no longer have a boat shop by next November, and having many years back issues in my library, I have just stopped my subscription. Along with that will go a colection of boatbuilding books, tools, etc. For some years now I have been repairing wooden boats anyhow, not building from scratch.But Istii enjoy reading back issues and keep a few by the chair for when I do get a chance to sit down!
I haven't been a subscriber of WB for about a decade now, only occasionally flipping-through at the bookstore or library. I subscribed to Small Boats for a couple of years, but that lapsed as well.
I've had the thought that Santa should hook me up again this year. I'll have to wait and see.
"Visionary" is he who in every egg sees a carbonara.
yes
IMAGINES VEL NON FUERINT
I have been a long time subscriber. I read it on airplanes and in the infusion chair.

i read about 3 articles about 40 years ago while becalmed
Yes, though I browse it more than I used to.
Yachting, the only sport where you get to be a mechanic, electrician, plumber and carpenter
I buy it and read the stuff that's particularly interesting to me, but not everything. I no longer have a wooden boat so it's mostly just to be loyal to a publication that's given me so much joy over the years. Kind of like every time we go up there we stop by the campus, just to see if anything's changed. It's a 'hygga' kind of thing, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

'A disciple of the Norse god of aesthetically pleasing boats, Johan Anker'
Yes, but not in the depth I once read it. I had set from 1984 on and gave the back issues away in 2020. Don't really miss them and it cleared out a bookcase
What's not on a boat costs nothing, weighs nothing, and can't break
Yes.
Yes. Still the best magazine that gets the atmosphere of boating.
Yes. Every issue entirely, sometimes twice.
used to look forward to stopping at the bookstore to buy it off the newstand.
no bookstore anymore. no newstand anywhere.
is it time yet for a magazine devoted to old magazines. with articles on how to rehab and care for your old magazines. even how to create and print your own new old magazines, with glossy paper and particularly expensive ink. how to forge your own binding staples. etc.
Yes. Book Seller in Oconomowoc WI stills WBM.
