Here's a site I can get lost in for days:
Internet Archive Digital Library Use the search function just like you would in a public library.
Using "woodworking" as a search word just brought up 251 hits.
Heres's an example that I found in this site.... a book titled "Woodwork Joints"

I stumbled onto an archive on The Internet Archive that contains lots and lots of "American Woodworker" magazines. Just scanning titles, it looks like they have issues back to 1985. I did not do a careful scan, but did see a couple of 2011 dates scroll by.

Here's a collection of "Today's Woodworker". Looks to be the predecessor of Rockler's Woodworker's Journal.

The Archive was started some years ago to capture the content of the internet and record it for posterity before the home servers wipe out the content. They have expanded into scanning in books that are in the public domain or for which they have copyright permission. Can you imagine spending all day turning pages and hitting a button?:eek:

And they are constantly adding servers to store stuff, so they do accept donations.;)
