re: What woodworking sources did you learn from and are you learning from now?

I’ve read a lot of books and probably buy 2-3 different woodworking mags every month. This has taught me the basics on everything from sharpening/finishing/layout/design/joinery but the real lifelong challenge is to translate what I see and know in my head about woodworking design and technique into reality. Somehow the design that I start off building never turns out as sleek as I wanted it, and the joints never as flawless as I envision them….
