Reading Material?

[OldDog]

 I am sure that most of us spend too much time surfing the net for information.

What, if any, magazines do you read/subscribe too that keeps your quest for knowledge active?

I stay with Mother Earth News and Family Handyman.  It takes most of the winter to catch up on what I didn't take/have time to read during the warmer months.

Thanks--Bruce

MEN, backwoods home, and there is one about home power i want to get. an occasional gun magazine.

I am geared more toward woodworking magazines.  This Old House as they had a special on the subscription.  Home & Garden Woods.  I very seldom have time for the projects although they are nice and maybe someday I will go back and make a thing or two.  Woods has a lot of tips, jigs and the like. Another reason is that I got one of mine published once in the tips section and made a little money for the time. They also have good reviews on tools.

I get some of the free construction industry and equipment magazines but the rest from the net.

I don't subscribe to many magazines on their own, but do receive a few that come as a result of association memberships... American Rifleman (NRA), Southwest Drivelines (SWFWDA, Southwest Four Wheel Drive Association), Living Cowboy Ethics (Paragon Foundation), Blue Ribbon Magazine (Blue Ribbon Coalition), Sportscar (SCCA, Sports Car Club of America)...

I use the internet a lot, though.

I also utilize my local public library a lot. Love their new acquisitions section.

The few subscribed magazines are;  Air & Space Smithsonian, National Geographic

A little off subject, but forgive me..(just a proud dad here)....my son lives in Minneapolis and works for a landscaping company there...a recent issue of Midwest Home magazine published a new ad for the company, and they inserted photos of some of the work my son did on a patio job...and he's only been doing it for 3 years...

[jb52761]

"Fine Homebuilding" has some good articles.  Not really geared towards out-in-the-sticks stuff, but still lots of good info.
