Does anyone know the best glue for an invisible glue line using pear wood, which is a mid-brown pink colour? Thanks Nick Gibbs Quercus Magazine

Can anyone tell me which is their favourite honing guide and why? Thanks Nick

Thanks. The magazine is called Quercus, and all about working wood by hand. Nick

Thank you, all

Can anyone tell me some of the best YouTube/Facebook/Instagram/UKW posts for people wanting to learn sharpening of hand tools? They can be questions as well as answers. Thanks Nick

Haha. If you are interested in woodlands I do recommend getting a copy of Smallwoods. They have taken the magazine far further than I ever did. Thanks. Nick

Thanks, all. It is set to be for anyone working wood by hand.

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...

Thanks. It is very early days. I have played at launching other mags on other subjects for the last four years, but never got further than designing a cover! The same thing might happen this time, but I do feel better, and now want to challenge myself by taking on a familiar project, of sorts...

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...

I sent a copy of Living Woods to Jimmy Carter once, and received a nice hand-written reply. He was an under-rated President, poor man. Thanks one and all. Nick

Thanks. Things are getting better, mainly because I am finding a new way of living. I am doing more woodworking, but more as therapy than as a living. So to give me a structure and to force me to get going for lack of time, I have become a Kitchen Porter in a local restaurant. I do six or...

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

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a thicknessing roller for a Kity 432? Mine doesn't seem to work well, though it may be the drive. Thanks Nick

Has anyone had business postcards produced to show of their woodwork? If so, which one has been good in value and quality? Thanks Nick

Thanks to everyone for an amazing response to the crowdfunding campaign. Life has been further challenged by me having a seizure at the end of May, which is common after a brain injury, but means that I cannot drive for at least another year. This seriously hampers editing, but hopefully...

Thanks everyone. We have actually started a crowdfunding campaign, which is aimed at keeping Living Woods going for the moment as part of my improvement/recovery, and if we can do that there may be potential for British Woodworking to return. So sorry for the delays and for any money we owe to...

Just in case anyone is wondering, the first issue of Living Woods since my injury has just been sent out, and thanks for so much support. As readers will know, we published a shortened version of British Woodworking in October 2014, to coincide with D&M's Tool Show, and to say thanks for all...

Thanks so much, Dave, and others. I am giving Living Woods a good go. Doing both LW and BW is too much for me for the time being, and I may even consider having to merge them, but feel the readership is too diverse. Really appreciate your comment about refunds. It is a big issue for us. I don't...

The news I had hoped to bring about possibly selling British Woodworking, with my contribution and support, has sadly fallen through. For the moment I am trying to get back into editing by producing an issue of Living Woods, and start gently. Then I will think about British Woodworking, and we...
