   I had the same problem and found this site:

   http://www.woodworkingmagazineindex.com/

    

   It's pretty economical, but most issues only go back about 10 years.  At first blush I thought that was a drawback, but then after thinking about it, I don't know how often I looked at articles older than 10 years anyway!

   Let me know what you think.

   have you considered the dvd put out by fww.it looks like it
   is well indexed and has every issue up to 2008.

   Thanks. SheriDi, gizzo for your responses to my questions regarding the "WWI"

   publications, however, I think that both suggestions are for their specific mags',

   whereas the "WWI" covers many, if not all mags w/articles, techniques, and much,

   much more. I guess this publication is probably now defunct. What a shame! Thanks

   again

   Actually, the link I gave you is a database of over 35 DIY type magazines.

   "WOW" would be putting it mildly. This is precisely what I have been looking for! Thank you for your information, I hope that others read this and take advantage of it. You have saved my day!  Needless to say, I am now a subscriber.

   Wow!  $9.95 for 3 years access?  If it does anything approaching a "good job" that's dirt cheap.  Thanks for posting the link.

   "I don't know how often I looked at articles older than 10 years anyway!"  Amen.  WWing magazine content tends to be repetitive over a long period of time -- techniques, FAQ's, etc.  Tools reviews get outdated.  Plans would be an exception.

   Set up your own databse on your computer and enter the articles you find useful. Most articles are pretty redundant but there are often tidbits that add to existing articles. This way you can add book articles and websites and local sources of suppliers.
