Magazines and patterns

[w.2014.h]

How do you organize and keep track of all of your magazines and all of the patterns? Is there any where I could get a digital copy of patterns to make it easier to stay organized?

There have in the past been projects making boxes for the storage of magazines but I don't recall any declared an organizer. Direct your digital copy question to Bob Duncan he can probably answer it.

Fox Chapel has for sale 2 DVDs with SSWC magazines on them with all the patterns, volume 1 has issue 1 to 12, and volume 2 has issue 13 to 24

Wood Dog, I've just looked at your link and it costs $37 to post one $34.95 DVD to the UK so I'll be giving those a miss thank you.

Scan your pattern or artwork and save it to your computer.

Someone is getting ripped here. I checked the site and as stated it is $37.00 US just for postage to the UK. On the USPS Site however they show a DVD package shipping rate to the UK of $16.95. $20.00 difference, Why ?

My wife gets a catalog from harrietcarter.com They have plastic magazine holders that you can use to put your magazines in a 3-ring binder. The item # is c4189 They cost $9.98 for a pack of 50. If you look at the item at the site, a person could make their own out of some 1/8" ply. I bought the pack of 50, and some 3-ring binders at a flea market. For about $25 or so, it was extremely worth it to me to organize all of my magazines into a bookcase.

I use the three ring binder. I have one for of the mags and I keep them in separate books in order of the issue and the year. This works for mebut may want try something else.

I think there was just a discussion about the shipping issue and it was taken care of.
Shannon or Bob cleared it up.

I as well scan all of the patterns (digitize them) and then store each month's patterns in its own folder. I also make a PP presentation for each month stored in the same folder. Then I run a "directory lister" program and put that in a spread sheet. With them in the spread sheet, I can alphabetize by pattern name or directory. Works for me. (my 2% of a buck)

I would realy like to see an example of this. Is there some way for you to post an example or email me.

Send a message to Bob or Shannon about the shipping charges. There was a problem with the charges to Canada and they fixed it up.
The CDs are all on sale with a code that is in the latest issue. I would imagine the code would be good for any part of the world.

Same here. This sounds very interesting. Me, I not too organized.

I scan the ones I want. That lets me use Inkscape or another program to resize the pattern to fit the wood or the frame available. I also keep a copy on a thumb drive so there is a backup.
