    Editing again

    To get me going with UKW after a long absence, I thought some of you might like to know that I am dipping my toe in the editing game again, in the very early stages of launching a new magazine. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported all my previous titles and my wellbeing over...

    New Magazine???

    Hi. I am having the very first tiny thoughts about starting a new magazine/journal for anyone interested in wood and using wood. This is an early test to see if I can cope with communications and to see if there might be interest. I want it to be very much word-orientated, rather more about...

    Joe Brown

    Can anyone remember in which issue of Good Woodworking the singer Joe Brown was featured? I am working on a piece about famous people who are or were also woodworkers. Any suggestions gratefully received, but for the moment I am trying to get hold of what I wrote about him! Thanks Nick

    Using mahogany

    In his new series, I Bought a Rainforest, Charlie Hamilton James asks why we still use mahogany in Britain. The programme was naive and dubious in many ways, but it made me think. There are so many conflicts regarding trade, illegal logging and biodiversity. I'm not looking for answers to that...

    Bosch wireless charging

    I'm just back from Berlin where Bosch were launching a wireless base station for charging their cordless tools. This could be a game-changer, and works in a similar way to the charging of some powered toothbrushes. It transfers power by a magnetic field, which is shielded and protected so that...

    Lamello Tenso

    We've just had delivery of the new Lamello Tenso 'biscuits' with a Zeta for testing. Has anyone else seen them? I think the amazing. In fact they could be the most revolutionary thing to hit furniture making, because in theory you can snap panels together with glue, and they will not come apart...

    Please vote for chairmaker

    The chairmaker, Alison Ospina, has entered a European eco-competition, and needs the votes of woodworkers. She produces greenwood chairs from local wood, often just sticks and branches. Woodworkers have already taken her from 80th place to 50th. Let's see how much higher we can take her. Please...

    Planer/thicknesser changeover

    Any thoughts anyone on the planer/thicknesser with easiest changeover from planing to thicknessing? Is there one out there that doesn't need the table moving to thickness, or can be customised to do so? I'm fed up of the Kity I have that takes so much time to change from one operation to the...
