Offered here is a complete run of The Woodworker's Journal, Volume 11, comprising all six bi-monthly issues published throughout 1987. The six issues are: Vol. 11 No. 1 (January/February), No. 2 (March/April), No. 3 (May/June), No. 4 (July/August), No. 5 (September/October), and No. 6 (November/December). This is a rare opportunity to acquire a full year's worth of this beloved woodworking publication in a single lot.
Published by The Madrigal Publishing Co., Inc. of New Milford, Connecticut, and edited by James J. McQuillan, each issue is packed with detailed project plans, step-by-step instructions, and expert techniques. Cover projects across the year include a Garden Bench and Table, Vienna Regulator Clock, Apothecary Chest, Turned Shop Mallets, and a Curio Cabinet, among many others.
The breadth of projects covered throughout Volume 11 is impressive, ranging from furniture pieces such as a Shaker Blanket Chest, Glass-Top Dining Table, Contemporary Love Seat, and Platform Bed, to smaller shop projects, toys, and decorative items including a Kangaroo Toy, Rhombohedron Puzzle, Canada Goose Mobile, and Door Harp. Regular departments covering Woodworking Basics, Shop Tips, Restoring Antiques, and Workshop Income round out each issue.
All six issues are in Very Good condition overall. Covers display only minor shelf wear and light creasing consistent with their age of nearly 40 years. Interior pages are clean and bright with no notable foxing, soiling, or writing observed. Spines are intact with no splitting. No library markings, stamps, bookplates, or inscriptions are present.
This complete 1987 volume set is an excellent reference resource for woodworking enthusiasts, hobbyists, and collectors of vintage craft publications. The detailed plans and techniques described within remain as useful and inspiring today as they were when first published.
