>I concur about Woodwork. It is the only woodworking magazine I subscribe to anymore. Much more content about quality items made from wood (and the people who make them) and less about the repetitious nitty gritty of how to use a screwdriver or brad nailer.
Even for those still trying to refine their techiques and acquire their tools, Woodwork serves to provide a good perspective on why one would do so.

But I agree with Woodwork. It's my kind of publication, and the writers and subject woodworkers seem to be folks you could enjoy a chat with.

But I always wonder why there is no handtool woodcrafting magazine that at least partly writes about somewhat advanced topics and less-than-basic tools -- I don't know, say off the top of my head ones I do know something about: jewelers' saws, unusual clamps, profiled scrapers, luthiers' planes, the crooked-knife family (ref. the spoonmaking challenge), surfacing with a yarri-kanna....
And I wonder why woodworking magazines give so little attention to the wonders and problems of wood per se.
