Fine Woodworking
This magazine is the one subscribe to. With an open and free flowing style, Fine Woodworking manages to inspire quality. It will build your skill as a woodworker, teach you new technique, and provide quality tool reviews. Projects are not as plentiful or well detailed as in the other magazines.

Fine woodworking also dares to be different. In each episode you will find a piece about seldomly used or exotic techniques. At the very least, the magazine will show you what's just over the horizon. Publisher

#2

Woodsmith
This magazine has the best project descriptions. Often spanning 5 pages or more, Woodsmith provides detailed step by step instructions all the way from making the first cut to the finishing room. Project tend to be on the reasonable side. You will not find plans for heirloom quality closets that take hundreds of hours to build. What you will find are project you will want to use in daily life.

There is very little beyond the projects, which should not be a problem. Woodsmith is all about projects. Publisher

#3

Wood
Wood is the odd one out. It does everything the other two magazines have, but the other two do it slightly better. It's still worth subscribing to. Articles are written at a high level of quality. At the very least if will give you different ideas than the other magazines.

The magazine is more on the commercial side of things. A large chunk of the content is devoted to ads and selling things. If you are in the market for new tools, chances are you will find what you are looking for in Wood magazine.Publisher
