Do you guys frequent any woodworking or power tools related blogs?
If so, can you share some links to your favorites?
I have some that I go to but I'm always looking for new ones.
Thanks!

It's not a blog, but the newsgroup, rec.woodworking has a very sizable following of woodworkers. In fact, I believe it's the largest woodworking group newsgroup around. Understand though, that it's unmoderated with the occasional discussion/argument/fight taking place about some subject that may have absolutely nothing to do with woodworking. If the arguments are a complete turn off, the best route to take is to ask a woodworking question, follow that thread to get several informative answers and then leave the group until you have another woodworking question. |

DF 500 Q, HL850E-Plus, CT22, 5 systainers and several accessories. I'm just a rank Festool beginner, but I'm trying hard.  Oh yeah, now that I own a FOG hat 2011 edition, I guess I'm not such a beginner anymore. |

Well, if it's tool info you're looking for, then I keep a direct link to Online Tools Review. It's not a blog, but it's a really informative and detailed review of all sorts of woodworking tools. http://www.onlinetoolreviews.com/toolreviewindex.htm |
