I learn a TON of stuff here. In fact I think every project I have done since I started here was completed because of this community. My work is also getting much better because of the advice I get here. It goes without saying that this is probably the best woodworking community on the internet and I doubt that would be disputed.
I want to call out some other resources that I have gained a lot of knowledge and inspiration from:
First would have to be Marc Spagnuolo - http://thewoodwhisperer.com/. I am going to become a guild member soon to get in on some of the builds. His projects are largely beyond my skill level, however with the excellent videos I feel like I could actually pull some of them off.
Another invaluable source of info for me is Charles Neil. http://www.cn-woodworking.com/. Almost everything I have learned about finishing have come from Charles one way or another. He also has a lot of great tips I would have never thought of - like clamping a mitered box with painters tape and 2 boards with screws in them cinched together with a shoelace.
Third goes to Steve Ramsey - http://www.woodworkingformeremortals.com. Again, TONS of information that is easy to digest and put to practical use without having a shop full of Festool/powermatic etc.
I hope this helps my fellow newbies, and I would also love to hear about other resources that people fine useful outside of the great LJ community.
