It's when they are emptied and reloaded that they wear. I keep mine full. The bad guy will have his full, why give him the advantage ? [/highjack]



re: reading material- I keep some in plastic magazine holders from the office supply store, some in stacks, some in cardboard boxes and some just go in the recycle bin.

I used to keep alot of mine....figured I would go back and reference some articles....very, very rarely, if ever did that happen. I recently did some remodeling of my office..quick page through of all of them and pitched 95% of them.

When I want to get info about some aspect of car building etc etc, I just look on the web. The magazine never got used and just took up space.

I have 3 inch binders that break the topics down, and I file them away in order. I have a couple binders of just 'ideas' that I cruse through at times for inspiration

Example:

A binder for Body. In that binder are tabbed sections for General Processes, Cost estimating, Tooling, Stripping, Panel alignment, filler, Primer, blocking, paint, stripes/flames, polish, detailing.

Then if I have a question on do I put fillers under primer but on bare metal first and with what grit paper for best grip - I have quick access to it without sifting through billions of magazines.

Yup, it's weird....

This thread is killing me as I am Editor of two automotive magazines.

^^^^^^^^^^ Okay -- that's funny!!!

What I'm wondering about is this -- are you worried about how we handle our "magazines" ---- or the combined IQ of your readers --- after reading this thread??
