   Hi Hadley,

   I guess it depends on what exactly you're looking for. If it is one of the 1200+ archived feature articles available on FineWoodworking.com, then you can download the PDFs here.

   If you can't find it on the site, that's another story. Sometimes the back issue may be available for purchase.

   Anything in particular I can help you find?

   Thanks Matt:  I've been asking about this article for weeks. One of your helpful people there said it is not in the archives...so I began asking whether I could pay someone to go to a private stash somewhere and Xerox a copy for me. The article I need is a Review of Vacuum Presses, or some such title, that appeared in issue $#99 of FWW. I will be happy to pay for this service. In the alternative, do you know of another athoritative source I could consult to get me up speed on what I should buy to get into vacuum pressing? Any guidance will be much appreciated.

                                            Many Thanks,  Hadley

   Rather than trying to track down a photo copy of that article, which is probably some what out dated in terms of vacuum-press technology, I'm going to suggest you post in Ernie Conover's folder.

   Ernie submitted an article idea to us about two years ago for a shopmade vacuum table. He had a nice photo illustration to go with it. He should also be able to  summarize vacuum pressing in a few paragraphs to get you started.

   Also, watch this video to see Chris Gochnour's shop-made method.
