20 Years of Contributors(A-L) (M-Z): A list of the writers and their projects (1976-1995)
When The Scale Cabinetmaker started in 1976, it had a two person staff-- Jim and Helen Dorsett, a selectric typewriter, a small workshop in an upstairs bedroom, and a stack of ideas listed on the back of computer printouts. It wasn't the Dorsett's first venture in publishing-- the Cabinetmaker's Guides to Dollhouse Furniture first appeared on the market in 1963--but it was their most ambitious. While the first issue of TSC reflected the small staff, subsequent issues and volumes saw the inclusion of projects from many of the leading craftsman in miniatures and the inclusion of a broad range of regular contributors. Indeed, at the time, the subscription list and the contributors list read like a "who's who" in the miniature hobby.
Each new contributor added an additional layer of expertise to The Scale Cabinetmaker and added to the collective knowledge of the miniature hobby. While the writers of TSC never exhausted the subject, they did cover an enormous range of subjects, from kitbashing to metalworking to designing period roomboxes. The re-release of TSC brings the voices of folks like Jim and Helen Dorsett, Horace Cooke, Jim and Harriet Jedlicka, Madelyn Cook, Harry Whalon, Pete Westcott, and many others to a new generation of hobbiests.
A couple of notes about the information on the list: 1) Articles which have been re-released are highlighted in blue. 2) Contributors who have been recognized for excellence in the craft by IGMA or NAME are highlighed in red. 3) As we construct these pages, excerpts from TSC's Meet the Craftsman series will be included on separate pages on the site. Given the length, the list has been separated into two files: A-L and M-Z.
