    Aprons

    I hope this doesn't sound silly. But I've never found a good place for us in the UK to buy aprons. I think I'd like to have a decent lightweight apron for those messy glue ups or painting/staining jobs. Just never found anywhere with a good range to choose from. Does anyone know of any good...

    I'm about to buy some 100mm PIR insulation. Has anyone researched this recently and have any recommendation of suppler (that delivers to the south west)? I'm looking for best value. I believe most PIR to be of similar quality. Especially as it's for a shed! TIA

    Can I use car wax on wood

    I've been using Alfie Shine Hard Wax over my shellac finish and love it. But I was wondering what would happen if I used some quality (Auto Glym) car polish. I have so much of that stuff, it just made me wonder. I think the products of that ilk are a liquid form of carnauba waxes and resins. I...

    Is the tool shortage over?

    I notice lots of 'back in stock' posts from retailers and plenty of second hand tools available. Additionally, I wonder with the cost of living outpacing wages that woodworking may be becoming too expensive a hobby for some. I've also noticed, people selling up lock, stock and barrel.
