Summary: For the weekend warrior, DIY'er and the pros
Comment: I've been woodworking for over 20 years, and this magazine inspires me more than magazines geared for woodworking. The articles are clearly written; the pictures are crisp and to the point (show just what's necessary without slipping in paid name-brand product shots.) And the ads seem to be kept to a minimum (sure, they are in there, but not every other page.)
If you are simply looking for ideas to show a carpenter, or looking for tips this is the magazine for you. Each month you will find:
Safety tips
Q&A
Finishing Touches
Testing power tools
Product comparison
Building skills
Replacing the old (doors, windows, decks...)
It seems that every month there is at least one article that is beyond the scope of most subscribers. But I have found this the most useful, thus far. A couple of these articles have helped me view / approach a project from a different angle, and each with a far better result than my initial design. While most of us may not be able to DO all of the incredible things shown in the magazine, we can take away some great ideas and techniques that we can use in other projects.
The best thing is that two articles have already saved me more money than the one-year subscription cost me!
I highly recommend this magazine in conjunction with Handyman magazine. Together, you can build / fix just about anything.
