Who wants to start a chainsaw magazine?

[jacktheripper]

With the wealth of knowledge and innovation here, we could have some awesome articles/builds/editorials. It seems like the saw world is growing with a bunch of young guys, and there's a bunch of wack s*** and crazy people on Facebook right now, so a magazine might set some stuff straight and provide some interest for people esp. outside of this community.

I think we might be able to come up with something that out-does the crazy people on Facebook...

 

[jacktheripper]

Precisely this

Don't forget the ads. At least 50% of a magazine is ads.

Of course, full page adds with quenching chain saws!

I'd love to help out but I'm a bit (pun) busy getting my typewriter repair business off the ground.

Along with ads in the back for dik pills. Standard magazine procedure

My wife was pissed when the boys would read Outdoor Life and it has dik pill ads and such.

 

[Chainmale]

How could anyone need dik pills if they're staring at pictures of chainsaws though?

What is minimum circulation at say $20/year in order to make it profitable? Bi-monthy, monthy?

Some have commented that it is a dead format which is partly true. Are there 100,000 subscribers out there? 50k? You need only a small percentage of the 300 million just in the US.

If you are serious, some phone calls/emails for ad sponsorship would be in order. What major chainsaw manufacturer wouldn't want their ads in a Nationally distributed rag? The pitch to Husky goes something like this....'Stihl has shown interest in 2 pages of advertisements already.' 'We'll take 2 pages and sponsor the editor's note' says the Husky exec. Then you call Stihl. lol

Sounds like a good idea to me. I’d be possibly willing to help.

With a moniker like RCBS you must be a handloader?

You could be in charge of the junk yard column
