I recently purchased a Woodsmith magazine on the newsstand called Shop Notes Projects and Jigs. As a "so called" bonus they give you a special access code which allows you to put in your email address on their website to receive woodworking tips via email.

So far the "tips" I have received consists of the opportunity to purchase additional dvd's and other products from them.

I hate it when I get deceived in this way. It's hardly a woodworking "tip".

Something I've noticed with a lot of commercial enterprises is that when they claim to give you "expert tips" they really mean "tips for beginners" because everyone else figured out all their "expert tips" within a few months.

Pretty much any tip you would pay for is available for free here, on youtube or a ton of other places on the internet.

I'm on their email list. Lots of the tips are pretty useless. And, yes, they try to sell their DVDs and books. But sometimes there is a useful idea. You can always opt out.
