Woodsmith

Over the years, I have subscribed to several woodworking publications. While I am no woodworking wizard, I am an enthusiast who find the projects and writing of the Woodsmith staff to be among the best I have read. The pages are durable (unlike the cheap paper found in some magazines), the projects are interesting, the work shop projects and jigs are fun and best of all, no advertisements to weed through. Just page after page of useful information. Each magazine provides a cutlist (nothing unique to Woodsmith) and specific information for hardware (where to get it, the product number and finish) or other misc materials they use in their projects. They also have free woodworking videos online.

I actually read the magazine that this site Woodsmith.com supports. There are no surprises here. The site and the magazine shows tools and techniques of building art and practical objects from wood. There are detailed plans for many desirable objects.

A practical example is the making of dovetails. I am not an artist. So it takes practice. Well if you are rich there are tools that make them perfect every time. So what is the alternative? It is technique and the magazine shows how to measure twice and cut once. You can actually become a wood smith.

The site its self is more than just a composite or supplement to their magazine. It is easy to navigate to fine all kinds of recourses and tips. You can also purchase Binders to hold and keep your Woodsmith magazines.

There are two magazines on woodworking that no one should be without; Woodsmith and Fine Woodworking. Both are excellent and I have every issue.

I missed a couple of years of Woodsmith because I thought I was not going to do much in woodworking again since I also have other hobbies, and the house we have now is too full with furniture I made from both magazines, and of my own design. Now we are building a new house, my interest has been renewed, and that is what I did again with Woodsmith, I started up the subscription again. As soon as I figure out where I left off, I will be getting the back issues I missed, or the DVD (which I got recently with the FW magazine, well worth it too, so I might spring for the Woodsmith DVD).

The pages are thick, not flimsy like other magazines, and will last a lifetime. The first issue of Woodsmith is still as new as ever, and I have been keeping them all in the binders they also sell; helps keep everything in one place and the binders are very nice too, they have a slight padding inside the vinyl of the face and back of the binder.

I have built many projects from Woodsmith, including a secretary bookcase in a Chippendale style, where the bottom of the desk came from Woodsmith, the top from FW. Without these magazines, I would not have been able to do either, so that alone is worth every penny I spent on the subscriptions. Of course, I have built several other projects too. But these magazines make it so easy to do.
