Ideas are one thing, but getting the wood, patterns and books over here is so extortionately expensive :(

Used to make a shedload of pens, but with the recent price hikes it is becoming a pain to procure decent kits....

Gotta love the UK :(

I'm 67, I'm still enjoying life, but doing it a lot slower LOL. You're right about getting a hold of good quality timber at reasonable prices. Up here on the west coast of Scotland the delivery charges can be a bit over the top, and I would assume it's the same in Wales?. We always manage some thing though. Necessity being the mother of invention !!!.
