I have a subscription on Fine Woodworking for about 5 years and though I read a lot of other American and English woodworking magazine's Fine Woodworking is the magazine I like the best. I think they have a good balance in modern woodworking equipment (power- and hand tools) and the more traditional approach. I like that: keep the best from the past and ad the advantages of the new technologies. Every time it arrives I spend quite some evenings reading it! I did build quite some projects out of the magazine. Most of them are within my skill reach but some are simply to advance for me, especially when carving is involved, but still … one has to have something to dream about (perhaps one day I might be able to make such a fine piece…). I also think their shop tips section is really great and practical. So, please get on with the good work!

I've got no expirience with other wood-working magazines so I can't compare. However I don't like it. Far too much handcrafted work which needs years of expierience where as there are tools nowadays which could help a lot in making nice furniture. There is too much "doing it the old way".

Fine Woodworking shows you how to make beautiful furniture.
However, the skills you need to reproduce the same results as the professional are of a very high level.
I did not like the whole lot off advertising but realise this is necessary for such a magazine.
I enjoied reading the magazine for a couple off years and will probably get a subscription in a couple off years from now.

Fine woodworking is by far the best magazine for wood-enthousiasts I have ever seen. Beautifull photo's and well explaining drawings of woodworking and furniture. Don't disturb me for a vew hours when my copy arrives!
