Fine Woodworking is in a separate class from most of the other wood
related magazines I have seen, such as Workbench, Wood, Woodsmith.
Many of the magazines have articles on "how to make dowel joints
like the pros do", plans for tables made of plywood and pine.  The
better magazines have less of the quality of amateurs playing at
woodworking, but they still concentrate on plans for projects that
you will follow exactly.

Fine Woodworking is aimed at people who know what they're doing.
They have articles telling you how to do basic things, but they 
assume you are competent.  They don't give plans, but ideas.
And they are printed on much better paper.  I recommend FWW over
all other magazines I've seen.
