Ignore the glowing reviews from 10 years ago – this is just an advertisement book with the occasional clip of content tossed in. Amazon really needs to cycle through it’s highest rated reviews every few years. Maybe this magazine was great back in the early 2000’s, but today is it nothing more than a advertisement rag posing as a DIY magazine.I have received 2 issues and other than the cover article, it seems everything else is a tiny little blurb amidst a sea of other party ads. There is very, very little substance or instruction to be had. I would much rather pay you are higher price subscription for more content and less ads, than the current model that Handyman currently has.I’ll look elsewhere for my DIY interests.
Nice tips and inspiration I’m a new homeowner that has done some small projects around the house and I really enjoy this magazine. I have very little background and still find it interesting. There is some more technical stuff too so I can see how a range of experience levels could get something out of it. I read the entire thing the night I get it.
Great magazine for DIYers Can’t complain for less than a dollar an issue. Yes, there are a lot of ads and some repetition from one issue to the next, but I always get new ideas from every issue. If you intend to use these articles as comprehensive, step by step instructions to complete your project, you will be disappointed. But if you use the articles as a jumping off point for more extensive research it will work. (A few people gave it 1 star because they thought the instructions were over simplified.) If you don’t have basic skills and common sense, call a contractor.
