I have to say NONE.
I used to but the content is becomming redundant , the tool comparisions are rather limited to what the advertizers are peddling and the articles are too brief in most cases to be of value when the cover price is considered.
With many issues running in the 10- 12 dollar range, I find it hard to choose two issues of X magazine over a dedicated book for $24.00 on the same topic.
Not withstanding, I will pick up the odd issue that has some direct uesfulness to me.
p.s. I visit my library about once or twice a month so I get a chance to review several offerings there then shop for what I need at a magazine store.

Subscriptions are very often a very expensive way to collect junk l can't use.

I used to go into Rona and check out the magazines and choose the ones that were of interest. Last time I was in I couldn't find the magazines and when I asked they said that they weren't carrying magazines any more.
What's up with that?

 

That's funny Debbie!

I lost a hub cap on my van, & none of the stores in my town sells them anymore.

 

Fine Woodworking, Popular Woodworking and Wood. I just wish I had more time to read them.

 

I subscribe to 10 different WW magazines, but I'm letting all of them expire when the subscription each subscription runs out. This $34.95 a for a year subscription is ridiculous.
I will keep up my subscriptions to Woodworking, Popular Woodworking, Shop Notes, Shopsmith, and my Internet subscription to Fine Woodworking.
These prices are CRAZY you pay an exorbitant price that is 50% plus of advertising…...not. Most of the magazines are so repetitive….how many drill press, table saw, cordless drill tests do we need? Usually each magazine has only one or two articles that are useful to me.

 

I forgot, I have a one year sub to Canadian Woodworking that I won in the winter contest. It's a pretty good
magazine that I had never seen before.

 

FWW, woodworker west, american woodworker, cabinetmaker (free)

 

FWW since year one. I still have everyone, but rarely look back at them now since they are online. There web site is fantastic.

Just started with Woodworking. I really love what I have seen so far.

 

FWW hard copy and on-line. Have tried American Woodworker, Shop Notes. I have tried to enroll on-line twice for Woodwork, but somehow it never comes. Toying with the idea to try Woodcraft.

 

Doug,

I really enjoy Woodcraft. It has a wide variety of information and skill level projects.

I am very interested in the LJ eMagazine. Dividing the year into living in two locations, 1400 miles apart, really complicates magazine subscriptions. For this reason I would like to see more eMags "published". Hopefully we will get DSL in the U.P. this Summer.

 

I've subscribed in the past to these:

• American Woodworker
• FWW
• Woodsmith
• Wood
• Woodwork
• WW Journal

Now I'm trying to spend less time reading, and more time doing. So I subscribe only to these two:

• Popular Woodworking, and
• Woodworking Magazine

Recently I cleaned house, and got rid of all the old Wood, WW Journal, and AWW issues. The others I couldn't part with just yet.

 

Fine Woodworking (Paper and electronic)
Popular Woodworking
Woodsmith
Shop Notes
Woodworker Journal
Wood

 

Fine Woodworking and Wood, also Fine Woodworking online.

 

FWW paper and online
Popular WW
Woodcraft

 

I recently started some magazine subscriptions to Woodsmith, ShopNotes and WOOD. I also have a 1 yr subscription to FWW Online.

 

I get tempted from time-to-time to buy shelf copies of all of them, but I'm a subscriber of Woodworking Magazine and an online subscriber of Fine Woodworking. These two exemplify the real love of woodworking for me. I enjoy the tips, plans, and even ads in many of them, but my choice picks get a real respect from me.

For that matter, I think I'm becoming a Taunton Press collector. The thing I've come to realize is that you will see a good bit of their stuff recycled over the years in various forms of magazine and book.

 

Thats all folks.

 

I just started subscribing to Woodworking Magazine as my only one. I like their philosophy, but the best part for me is NO ADDS! I have enough trouble wanting to buy more stuff, without all the advertisers encouraging me to do the same.

 

I receive Woodworkers journal, Popular Woodworking, O.K. guys you will laugh but I get This old house and I really enjoy it! I also get Workbench and wood craft.
I get most of these thru Harbor freight. I order sanding pads , sanding sleeves, things like that from there. I live in a place where the closest place I could drive to get to even a Lowe's ,Builders supply etc. is Reno Nevada and I live in northeastern Ca. It's a 138 mile drive for me. Anyway when you place an order that is delivered to you . They give you an option of 3 free mags, for a year. I take them up every time.
My favorite subscription is Creative Woodworks and crafts. It is where I get my scrolling and intarsia patterns. Also 3 catalogs to get patterns , Scroller, The woodenteddybear collection and Wildwood designs.
Good Lord I get a lot of these!!! Yikes. until I wrote it down I did not realize
PEACE!!

 

What a fun question! I have been a subscriber to WOOD, POPULAR WOODWORKING, FINE WOODWORKING, WOODWORKERS JOURNAL, THE FAMILY HANDYMAN, and THIS OLD HOUSE. because of a lack of real estate for my magizines, and economics, I have let my subscriptions expire but I plan to give POPULAR WOODWORKING another go. I to love the antisipation of getting my subscription in the mail. Don't ask me why, but when it comes, it goes with me straight to the john!
