Another great source for woodworking tips can be found in many place on Youtube. One of my favourite wood-worker/hobbyist guys is Matthias Wandel. He builds many of his own power tools such as a bandsaw, drill press, and a lathe out of wood. He is always experimenting with different ideas and testing material processes to help his audience have more success while woodworking. He lets you know when he messes up on a job in an often a dry humorous way. Check him out, and I am sure you will follow him for some great ideas.
