I recently moved back from Florida to rural Worcestershire, and I'm finding that a lot of things I used to know about my woodworking habit (that I developed while I was living over there) are no longer applicable... so I was hoping that I could pick your brains for any and all information that you think might be useful...
For example, I don't know:
- Where are good (and bad) places to buy tools (online and real shops)
- Where to get wood
- What types of wood are worth getting
- What magazines are worth reading
- What websites are worth browsing
- Are there any local clubs
- What half the acronyms I see you use mean
- Where to find woodworking shows on TV
I recently found this forum and from lurking for a couple of weeks it seems like a great place to learn all this stuff. I'll start asking more specific questions but I'm also concerned about the stuff that I don't realize I don't know (for example, I am completely unfamiliar with local building regulations, planning procedures, health and safety legislation etc)
So if anyone has any useful information, please share! Assume I know nothing and you won't be far wrong.
Thanks
