Are Woodsmith and Shopnotes the same publications OR are they just similar.tomsalwasser wrote:I was thinking the same thing Dusty. It seems to me Woodsmith and Shopnotes are the same thing in different packages from the same publisher. Woodsmith also offers a $99 DVD. Do you prefer Shopnotes over Woodsmith?

Unless I'm mistaken, they are from the same publisher. But there are different. Shopnotes has a focus on shop jigs, shop furniture, and tools and such. Woodsmith has a bit of jigs, but has more of a focus on projects.

Hdoilcan, check out an app called ES File Explorer. It's in the Google Play store and is free. It's a much more advanced file browser, has options for sorting, will browse local network shares, ftp sites, cloud storage sites like Dropbox, Skydrive, etc.

I thought that we were just supposed to be working on our shops.

Tom, I have both and they are totally different. They each appear to faithfully present each magazine in every aspect.tomsalwasser wrote:I was thinking the same thing Dusty.

Can you tell me how many gigabytes the whole Shopnotes package is? I'm not sure if I have enough space left on my ipad but now that I know they give you pdf files I'm interested.
I hope you have room because I think you will really enjoy it.
