Charlie penned....Popular Mechanics still does a lot of woodworking
Popular Mechanics got me started in the hobby with their article about four or five years ago on getting started in woodworking. After reading the article and fondly remembering my high school shop years, I bought a Sears Router and Table (yeah, I know) and the rest in history.
Since that time I subscribe to every magazine mentioned so far (except Woodwork, have to look for that one) and I do more reading than anything else. I enjoy the ads, but Woodsmith is still the best magazine for newbies. My first full-project was a a Woodsmith blanket chest, and without ever cutting a rabbit before, it turned out great.
