What Magazines do you subscribe to?

I think which ones are best and worst depends on the type of projects you like to do, and your preferences on targeted experience level of the magazine.

I get Wood and Woodsmith. I think they are very different, but I think if I had to choose, I would pick Wood. Woodsmith, seems to cater to pretty high end projects, vendors and woodworkers. Wood is much more laid back for the weekend hobbyist (me).

I read Fine Woodworking, Popular Woodworking and Wood. I also watch Rough Cut, The Wood Whisperer, the Woodsmith, The American Woodshop.

FWW and Wood.

Wood has great projects that i have done for and with the kids.

I usually modify thier plans, where they lately like using biscuit joinery to glue up furniture (like legs to table aprons)

FWW has more of my aspirations in it.

PBS shows are great, but i am rarely able to watch. Woodwright, and Rough Cut are usually on a 12:30 and 1 on our Channel 8 on the weekend.

That timing just doesn't really work, and I am too cheap to buy a dvr.

Tried Fine Woodworking, not for me.

About to drop Wood after two years. It is OK but my local library has a subscription I can read there.

Thinking about trying Shopnotes. Anyone have a thought about it?

ShopNotes just recently ceased publication, but you can purchase the entire collection from Woodsmith. I don't remember the price, but I remember thinking it was pretty reasonable.

I get Fine Woodworking (the only one I really care to get), Popular Woodworking (not bad either but prefer FW), Woodsmith (wouldn't pay to get again), and Woodcraft Magazine (don't like).

Wood magazine a few years ago but I really didn't enjoy as overall the projects didn't interest me. It was like seeing a flea market in print form. I have done several projects from it and saved a few but just not my thing.

I also have several archives (could read one a day for almost 3 years).

I have years of Shopnotes, FWW, Furniture and Cabinetmaking, Wood, American Woodworker, Canadian Woodworker, I think I have tried them all.

Still subscribe to FWW and F&C (it's a European magazine, kind of expensive, will not appeal to all).

I buy Shopnotes and Woodsmith on a content basis when seeing them at Chapters. I find them too repetitive and simplistic personally to have every issue.

Best learning tools (videos) and money spent by far is Marc's (The WoodWhisperer) and the Woodwhisperer Guild. You won't regret it.

Much better than anything on TV right now. In my opinion.

I have so many miscellaneous magazines, notes, books and plans stored that I quit subscribing until
I get caught up on all my plans, which should happen about the time I hit my 250th birthday. There
such a thing as too much of a good thing. The only problem is that those woodworking shows are
on TV and I make the mistake of walking by the magazine rack. My favorite was/is Woodsmith.

I like Fine Woodworking the most, but read it for free monthly at my local Library.

I still have a subscription to Woodsmith that I'm not sure if I will renew or not. It's got some good projects, but it does get repetitive.

I have hundreds of stuff from Wood, Woodsmith, FWW, etc. on digital copies, so paper doesn't really appeal to me anymore, and I think I'm pretty well set for a while.

This thread got me looking at some of the archives as I haven't looked at hardly any of several of them. I don't think I every looked at a wood working magazine until mid 20's or so and even then didn't really pay much attention to things. The PW archives cracked me up. Finding out it was Pacific Woodworker the first eye opener, then pictures of several of the more well known woodworkers was amusing (Chris Schwartz looked like high school kid). Harbor Freight adds actually selling Delta Table saws, and then one of the hottest items today a certain track saw with that lovely green color (Festo at the time of the add).
