Default what's a good woodworking magazine to subscribe to?

I build arts & crafts furniture for our home and jigs & fixtures for my
shop.


Fine Woodworking is the best of the bunch, but understand it is
oriented toward technique & design, not dimensioned project plans
(and, in recent times, it's been rather over weighted with finishing
articles, IMO).

Wood magazine is the best of the project plan magazines, to my
mind. American Woodworker has declined to the point of being
pretty much useless. Woodsmith is inconsistant, some of their
projects are very good, some use really weird techniques that
make things much more complicated than they need to be. I used
to find Popular Woodworking more oriented to beginner level
projects, but I haven't looked at it for several years.

Shopnotes is pretty good for workshop techniques and jigs,
and seems to me to be more consistant than Woodsmith.
