One of my favorites: no ads...just plans and articles.
- ShopNotes:
Another one of my favorites. If you like making jigs, you'll love
this.
- Wood:
"Why did I get that 2 yr. subscription again?" Seriously,
Wood packs a lot of information, but a good portion of it is in
advertisements (some non-woodworking related!) and craft-like projects.
I wish they would just stick to woodworking, and not include articles like
basket-weaving.
- Woodshop
News: I read this at the newsstand. A lot of good
information concerning the wood/woodworking industry.
- American
Woodworker: Ever since it was acquired by Reader's Digest, it just
hasn't been the same. I used to enjoy my subscription, now I peruse
through it at the newsstand.

he just pick up a darn power tool already!!

Pages:
Some other friendly, informative pages...
- A
few of my Internet buddies:

Woodwork" will keep you laughing for hours. Mark also provides a
How-To section, tool reviews, links, as well as pictures of his shop and
projects.
Bill
Grumbine: Bill is a professional
wood turner. His site contains many
pictures of some of his turned work and a boat he recently built.
KC
Constable: This page is filled with completed projects from a very
accomplished woodworker. My personal favorite: the cherry slant-top
writing desk.
Rod
Peterson: The Master Woodbutcher's site offers many woodworking
(and non-woodworking) related articles for your reading pleasure, a shop tour,
tips, and Rod's fascination with Norm's tools.
