Woodworking or Wood...Reading?

I was going through some old woodworking magazines the other day when it occured to me that there have been times in my life when I have done more reading about woodworking than actual woodworking.  A few years ago, I was subscribed to all of the following magazines:

  • Popular Woodworking
  • Wood magazine
  • Fine Woodworking
  • Shop Notes
  • Woodsmith
  • American Woodworker
  • Woodworkers Journal
  • Workbench magazine

Kind of crazy, I know.  It was only for about a year that I was receiving all 8 magazines at the same time.  I also bought a lot of books and videos on the subject.  I also have several episodes of New Yankee Workshop and every episode of DIY Woodworks that I recorded on VHS.  I wish I would have had the DVD burner back then. :)

This was all before the subject of woodworking had really hit the internet like it has now.  Now there are all kinds of free videos, blogs, podcasts, and plans right at the tips of our fingers.

I now only subscribe to two of them; Wood Magazine and Fine Woodworking.  Although I occasionally pick another one up at the newstand if I see something interesting.

Here is a great link to a list of all of the magazines that I know of. I didn’t even know some of these existed.  Check them out if you are looking for a good read.
