Good Woodworking is my regular....but that is because I occasionally have articles in it.

I got given loads of different magazines by Steve Maskery and I think Good Woodworking is the best.

I used to subscribe to Fine Woodworking when we first moved to France, but found it to machinery orientated. Now on my rare visits to England I tend to buy whatever I find on the shelf.

Good Woodworking (Digital Edition) only cost me £9.99 for a years subscription, with access to back copies too, so I reckon that`s good value. At that price you can afford to go out and buy a paper copy if you find the current issue has anything of particular interest.
Sadly, I find that is becoming increasingly unlikely. It`s not a patch on what it was in its heyday - or maybe I`m just looking for something different these days?

I am a newbie but seem to have gone very American as I get Fine Woodworking (machine heavy; yes) and Popular Woodworking (definite handtool bias) as digital subscriptions. Just to give the UK some custom I also pick up Furniture & Cabinetmaking, but not every month.

I'd like to subscribe to a magazine - are there any good ones that cater for us beginners?

Frankly - no. I would recommend spending the money on books (esp s/h ones) and using the mighty resources of the internet. Magazines are decreasingly useful IMHO.

A well chosen book is likely to cover everything you need, in a decent sequence, whereas any issue of a magazine is a mixture (hence the name).

I wouldn't recommend Joyce - very authoritative, but dull as ditch water, and more of a reference for after you've learnt, as opposed to a text to learn from.
