What are you planning to put in them, fluffy woolen jumpers or heavy plates and kitchenware? How deep are the drawers, the bottom sagging may be the biggest issue-can they have a divider? Ply on edge for the drawer side is very strong. Cheers Peter

I used to run the furniture making course in Cheltenham and then Gloucester, sorry to say they have now both closed. Gloucestershire College may still be running the carpentry and joinery courses at the docks site on Llanthony Rd. Otherwise try Stroud for carpentry or Hereford for Furniture...

We are currently stress testing the first 230v JessEm Pow-R-Tek motor, it will be quite a few months until all testing and CE and UK CA approval has been finalised. The UK/EU pricing structure has not yet been agreed but my feeling (guess) is the JessEm motor will be £500 to £600 or possibly...

Hi Derek Thanks for watching the video, sorry not a Tite-Mark original they were sold by Lie Nielsen in the Uk but almost 4 times the price and no longer available or out of stock. It is good to have a range of gauges, I guess I have ten or more plus the students tool kits, I think most makers...

Welcome to the neighbour hood, Twinning is about ten minutes from us. I will have a think to see if I know of any space going. @Yojevol may have some other ideas. Cheers Peter
