WoodShopNews has been delivering articles and commentary from America’s finest woodworking experts for more than 30 years.
Our editorial focus is rooted in a philosophy of hybrid woodworking – blending the best of hand tool and power tool techniques. We provide woodworking projects for every skill level, ranging from simple but attractive projects using basic joinery to complex furniture plans utilizing advanced woodworking techniques. Nearly every project is accompanied by a SketchUp model for precise planning and execution.
Our experienced staff of experts and writers bring you content that covers a wide array of topics. From shop ideas and tool recommendations to innovative projects, we aim to inspire and educate woodworkers of all levels. We publish six times annually, with five regular-sized issues and one double-sized issue, available both digitally and in print. Additionally, back issues can be explored throughout our website, and we offer a free weekly woodworking newsletter.
Safety is a priority for us. Manufacturers include safety devices on their equipment for a reason, and we emphasize their importance in all our content. While our photos may sometimes show these devices removed for clarity, or demonstrate techniques with unconventional body positions for better visibility, we advise our readers to always prioritize safety. Carefully plan each procedure before performing it to ensure a safe woodworking experience.
