It’s driving me crazy…. in shop talk live 166 they are taking about jon arno’s article about douglas fir. What issue is that in? The crazy part comes from the fww search engine. How can it not find any reference to this, let alone find stl 166. Had to use google to get a you tube link because fww search cannot?
Sorry, bit of a rant. Anyone know which issue “Doulas Fir, It’s not just for studs anymore.” is in?

The show notes state that the article is from issue #98.
"Matt – Douglas Fir by Jon Arno #98 (coming online soon)"

the article you are looking for is actually from issue #94 June 1992 pages 80-83 and the article is not posted on the site, or not easily found.

The show notes also says this
"Anissa – Cabinet on the Half Shell by Silas Kopf #169 (coming online soon)"
And it looks like that article was never posted either or not easily found.

It's in issue 94. I found it by searching for "Jon Arno Douglas Fir" in the digital archive (I bought the DVD), but I don't think it's up in the magazine articles accessed online. Not all of the older articles are available online as far as I can tell.
Fantastic! Thanks so much.
Searching on the website really kinda stinks, if what you are looking for is in the magazine.
Use the magazine index here: https://www.finewoodworking.com/magazine-index
A link to it really should appear at the top of the website. Finding it is another pain.
I copied this text posted by Ben Strano some time back and have saved it. It just doesn't make much sense to me. I still think "one publication, one search" should work.
If I am looking for something that was in the magazine, I ALWAYS use the online index (https://www.finewoodworking.com/magazine-index).
Website search:
The website search is the box on every page of the site. There are filtering options for results and that really does help get to the results you want. If you're looking for a video or a blog, the website search is the only way to do it.
Archive search:
In the main menu, go to "Digital Libraries". That will bring to to the online archive.
There is a "spy glass" at the top of the online archive page where you can search the archive. Clicking advance should give return any mentions of the specific phrase. That said, if I were going to search for the archive, I would likely start at the magazine index as well. I just find it to be the most effective search we have.
