The magazine's My Working Day article was featured in the magazine recently. There are also plenty of other online resources for woodworkers.

Mortise & Tenon magazine
If you love historic furniture, you'll appreciate Mortise & Tenon magazine. The magazine is published twice annually and focuses heavily on the preservation of, research, or recreation of period furniture. Its layout is more like a book rather than a magazine. The glossy pages are uncoated and feature photographs with minimal text. Norm Reid's book review is a standout piece from this unique publication.
In addition to covering the history of hand-tool woodworking, this bi-annual publication has beautiful photography and interesting articles. Brother Arnold Hadd (a Connecticut cabinetmaker) is the editor. It is well worth the subscription. It has been around since 1884. Despite its small size, you can't help admiring the beautiful magazine's content.

How To
How do you measure wood accurately?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. The digital scale is perfect for measuring tiny distances such as wood thickness.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
