    Wickes advertise hardwood ply, but deliver softwood ply

    To be honest buying ply has become such a nightmare of quality and at such huge cost, that i find now that i go to inspect before ordering any. There is such an enormous range of product on the market, most of it of really awful quality. I feel for the OP.

    Wrist watch recommendations

    I think the Newmark Watch Company - Home are making rather lovely heritage/reissue watches. Their chronograph was originally issued to British military pilots, but their '52 is a lovely classic looking field watch for really not much cash.

    Anyone have a good tool belt for general carpentry?

    Doing a timber extension at the moment, and spend my whole time picking up my hammer, losing my tape measure, searching for my screw driver, where is my level etc. etc. etc. You often see American carpenters on youtube with a belt kit, with a slot for their hammer and that kind of thing.

    Laughable. Really laughable. The whole damn thing. There need to be criminal convictions in the future.

    Wood filler with osmo oil?

    Just remember that the wax stick should be done after the Osmo... otherwise the Osmo won’t soak in around the repair.
