I think it would help us all when we are designing a project - thinking about and deciding the wood we would...

    Carpet Tiles in a Workshop - Thoughts (Good or Bad Idea?)

    Hi Everyone, I've aquired some virtually new, in really good condition carpet tiles. They are good hard wearing ones, not fluffy domestic type. I dont want to spend a fortune on the rubber type interlocking ones either, these are free. I have seen a video by stumpy nubs about the benefits of...
