I am in need of advice. I have been considering subscribing to one of the above groups. Has anyone here been a subscriber, past or present to either one of the above groups? If so, what are the pros and cons of either one?
Thanks,
BPR

WWGA has a free membership option that will allow access to some of their content and a weekly news letter. Paid membership offers more access to their videos, classes and plans but each video/plan/class is available for any member to purchase separately. They also have live webinars for question and answer sessions. I have seen a couple of the how to videos that in the back ground one of the workbenches has a Shop Smith logo on the edge of it. In one of his webinars I watched, the main host when asked about his opinion of SS said that he worked for them at one time. A lot of it is geared towards someone starting out in woodworking. Some of the plans that they have are nice and I have made a few things from them. If you are interested, join their free membership and see if you think it is worth the paid one. They do send out emails offering sales on videos/merchandise and at times reduced membership fee offers. I do not know anything about Sawdust Addict.

I had a WWGA membership 1 year ago. They are trying to get me back. I got a email today offering me 1 year for $3.21. They have a lot of good videos, but most were not for me.
