PM'd you regarding these cheers, Tony.

Didn't see it mentioned but you have set up authentication on your wifi (set it up as WPA2 if possible)? MAC address filtering is trivially easy to circumvent if that's all you are relying on.

I always check the stock in the local store first on their website nowadays. There are a few Screwfix around me, (Gloucester, Yate and Bristol) so, more often than not, one will have everything in stock that I need.

What are timbmets like to deal with? Can you walk in and have a look? Stonehouse is only just up the road from me, but I'm a newbie and I've never bought wood from anywhere but the diy sheds (sorry for the hijack StanleyTheCat).

That looks like a fascinating build and those windows are beautiful, would love to see more Jacob. Rob, yes I'm building a workbench following his method. I love the down-to-earth way Paul Sellers teaches things and he has got great skills. I've just spent a very enjoyable evening working up a...

+1 for the Paul Sellers videos. I'm a complete newbie myself and have decided I'd like to get into woodworking too. I'm currently teaching myself to create mortice and tenons using Paul's methods. Having never done them before and attempting to do it in 4x2s in preparation for building a bench...
