   I am finding over time that the internet is usurping magazines as a source of information. OTOH, magazines provide hard, mobile references.

   I have certainly learned a lot from magazines/books, websites, and don't forget television shows like NYW and Woodworks with David Marks, but OTOH I have also learned a lot from you guys right here on this forum and other forums here on the internet.

   Thanks a lot guys and gals,
   Harry

   Actually through Magazines, Catalogs, and Forums like this. I never would have thought to look for, and buy a dust particle counter until I saw a thread discussing the Dylos Air Quality Monitor.

   A combination of trial and error, careful planning, and experimentation.

   Hmm. It's crazy, but it just might work.

   I learned: a bit from TV shows; a lot from my father; some from magazines, some from books, some from the internet. 

   Most by buying distressed / used furniture with good brand names from the Salvation Army, Goodwill, and other thrift stores and then rebuilding it.  It taught me which joints held up well, and which didn't.

   I checked Other..

   Trial and Error here. My way all my life.. And Yes I get better at it.. BUT I do read books for ideas, NOT necessarily how to do it!

   As soon as I voted, I thought about my vote and I would have added some "other" to the list ... books (in addition to magazines), DVDs and friends/acquaintences.  I learn from many, many sources.
