    For starting out I would say Wood magazine and Shonotes. Wood is amied more towards beginners and has projects with simpler joints and Shopnotes will help get your shop up and running.

    Three for me

    I read and use Wood.
    I read and enjoy Wooden Boat.
    I read and use Popular Mechanics.
    I used to read Fine Woodworking but it just wasn't my style.

    Woodsmith for projects and detailed instructions.

    Shop Notes for jigs, fixtures, and shop "helpers."

    Wood for some projects, product review, and general information.

    Fine Woodworking for more advanced projects, product review, and to see what others are doing.

    These are the four "regulars" that grace our shop. All are very much worth the money.

    WOOD Magazine is a good publication for the beginner through intermediate woodworker. ShopNotes is a very nice project-oriented choice, too.

    And yes...the 'Creek is a most excellent "publication" to read every day!

    I agree with the above statement.

    Shop Notes is great because you get projects and jigs for the shop. I learned a lot by making things for the shop. Mistakes that don't show in the living room.

    Wood has good projects at lots of levels.

    Jerry,

    Most of the better magazines have already been listed. However, don't forget about your local library. They may have a number of magazines and/or books to help you get started.
