Fine Woodworking: Reviews and opinions

Great inspiring magazine, for both the starting woodworker and the experienced woodworker. Lots of great tips from other woodworkers, usually a project for a beginner/intermediate and a project for a professional. On the back there are very inspiring (furniture/art) pieces and the making off.. is on the page(s) before that. I am not practising woodworking at this moment (no time or space) but I still enjoy reading the magazine and saving it for when I do have a space where I can start to collect/build my own workshop. The website is also very inspiring. The only downside to the magazine is that it is a US magazine. That means: - All machines, tools, other equipment that are evaluated are those that are available in the US, availability in Europe may vary or brands that are available here are not mentioned - The imperial system is used instead of the metric system (inches instead of cm) Further: - I'd love to have a (separate) English to Dutch vocabulary list of woodworking. (Een vertaling van het engelse vakjargon naar het nederlandse). It would be a great idea if something like that could be offered along with the magazine. I've been receiving the magazine for about 6 years now, and although it took long to receive the first magazine (a couple of months after subscribing) it now falls on my doormat regularly. It's like a little gift each time! Debbie on 07-12-2012	(9)
Very good magazine - plenty of great tips and in-depth information on everything you need to know. Only drawback is that the tools available in the US are not quite as accessible here (and often not at all) so product reviews are less relevant sometimes. But there is so much else that is useful that I can highly recommend it. As for the subscription, I've had the same experience as one of the other commenters here, that the publisher thought I only had a subscription for one year when it was 2. Ivo will sort out those quirks though, so no worries. Cees Klumper on 25-02-2011	(9)
The best there is ... best pictures, best drawings... some problems with the delivery... I paid for 2 years and after a year the publisher thougt it was only for 1 year... marc Reymen on 10-09-2010	(10)
I find FWW to be a good quality magazine. I am learning lots from FWW; it ties in well with my level of skills and interests. I wouldn't mind them turning it into a monthly magazine. I really love their website too. Hans van der Jagt on 16-04-2010	(7)
I've received three copies of 'Fine woodworking'so far and every time I am really looking forward to the next copy. Great pictures of furniture and how to make it. Good explanation on wood working techniques. Frank on 02-03-2010	(9)
