Antique Woodworking Power Tool Association¶

Back in the late 1980's a new association was created to cater to those interested in vintage woodworking machines. Long before the Internet and OWWM, these folks were putting out a monthly newsletter with all kinds of articles related to our mission. We have managed to scrounge up several old copies of these newsletters and are making them available for you here. The association appears to have disappeared by the early 1990's, never to be heard from again. If anybody has any other issues of this newsletter, please consider sharing them with our group.
