I saw the name mentioned on here, so went to their site. However is it any good? Seems very big. If i subscribe to the magazine to i get free web access?

Or is it mag OR web?

The the mag and the web are different subscriptions. I can’t remember what the web subscription costs, but I remember getting a refund some months after subscribing when they reduced the cost! Anyway its not much and both the mag and the web are well worth the current $ rate.

I have subscribed to the website for the year and aside from this site it has been the best thing i have had access to. Generally i can locate the information i need off the site and then print off a PDF.

Good morning Sean. I can't answer about the magazine but I subscribe to finewoodworking.com and there have found a lot of useful information that I have been able to download in .pdf format for future reference. I'd say it was worth £2.50 a month or £22 a year. Bear in mind that most of the power tool reviews will be irrelevant as they are all for US equipment and reading them is likely to raise your blood pressure! I have a feeling that I've seen mention here of a free trial to FWW so that might be worth checking out.

I subscribe to both web and magazine (the web is much cheaper if you already subscribe to the paper one) and have done for around 3-4 years. The web subscription is great as there are loads of archived articles on there and I found it very useful when designing my new workbench - sort of like a woodworking library of sorts.

However, the mag dropping through the door is morer to my taste as I always prefer to read in print format rather than off a computer screen

Hi,
finewoddworking.com is a great resource. You can find and download pages of info. The archive goes back over 6 years but also has some selective bits from slightly older volumes.

Good value...but I still prefer the printed page.

If we could get Furniture and Cabinet Making to do the same that would be a useful resource also. Modern GWW and The Woodworker though would be much less good.

I'm a FW online subscriber, its an amazing resource for the small amount it costs, one of my favourite sites.

The Fine Woodworking site is also good for the extras--additional stuff to go along with the magazine articles.

And if you're interested in SketchUp, you can read the blog to which I contribute as well as the sidebar in which I have some drawings tied to an article in the latest edition.

i've been a subscriber for quite a while but have hardly had time to look at it. What I have seen is very good

 

[Chris Knight]

It's great - well worthwhile.

I agree that its worthwhile but I often forget that I have a sub :roll: :roll: . It is also such a huge site that when searching, so many interesting results come up that its easy to get sidetracked completely.

Cheers

I think i will join, don't think i'll bother with the mags though.

Cheers

For magazine subscribers you can access the website for $14.50 per annum - or about 62p per month. Seems like a good deal to me!
