The quarterly magazine · published since 2008 Pins & Tales
Where the journal is long-form research, Pins & Tales is what's happening across the chapters — the visiting maker at the New England meeting, the study group on hand-cut dovetails, the Makers Challenge entries that just came in, the maker who finally finished a Federal sideboard he's been at for two years. Published as a PDF in March, June, September, and December.
Local-chapter reporting, profiles of working builders, a calendar of what's coming up. Pins & Tales is where the community gathers each quarter.
In the Summer 2026 issue Conference plans, a Portsmouth tea caddie, and a road trip to the museums.
The Summer 2026 issue lays out October's Conference in Manchester — the field trips, the presenters, and the banquet honoring Tim Killen — and opens the season: nominations for the 2027 Cartouche, registration for the Phil Lowe Makers Challenge. Chapter reports run from the private Chipstone collection to a shop reproducing Thomas Jefferson's field pieces, with a farewell to Ronnie Young and a welcome to new associate editor Matthew Shockey.
