Does anyone know of any training provider who is running a course/assessment in December? im pencilled on to one in January in Suffolk but ideally need one sooner so that I can get on with a contract I’ve picked up. The customer won’t let me start until I’ve got a ticket. Ideally training would in Norfolk. Thanks David

First swallows back here in Norfolk last Sunday. 3 days later than last year.

Thanks for replys. I got some of the books ordered. Canoe head- What you said is good advice and the last thing I would want out of a course is a lot of site work h+s. All I want is to learn a bit more so that I can turn out half decent furniture and bits for myself and friends. David

I am looking into the possibilty of doing an evening carpentry course to improve my woodworking skills. I have a basic skills in what I call 'Farmyard joinery' and have recently made a few bookcases etc but all screwed joints. Has anyone done such a course and are they worth doing. Im in Norfolk. Also any good book reccomendations? Thanks

Nice bench,what oil did you finish it with?

Just ordered one from amazon.co.uk shipped from germany for £68. Found the sharpener on ebay for £7 with postage from the states

If you go onto the amazon page and look at the other sellers, perhaps one of them may send one? They are all the same price.

I looked at ordering one a few weeks ago but didnt get around to doing it. There wasnt a problem with the postage then. Just gone back andaxe was still in my basket but says this item cannot be shipped to me. Going to se how much postage is from Canada as have a friend ther who could post to me.

RE; manual hubs, lock them up and forget about them. This dosnt affect anything apart from increases fuel consumption a fraction. Having to stop and lock hubs when your nearly stuck will guarentee you're stuck when you get back in!!

Cant go wrong with the mark 3. Had two of them in the past. Only thing to let them down is the leaf springs are a bit soft so they wallow a bit esp after getting out of a landrover. And towing performance isnt great. Apart from that bullet proof. You should also consider mk 1 D22 Navara which I moved onto from the hiluxs. Good truck, as good a truck as hilux,if not better IMO

Thanks to Steve and all the sponsers for organising and donating such a good selection of prizes. Looking foward to getting to getting my grubby hands on my new saw. Thanks, David
