Started a thread on a similar topic before being directed to this fabulous thread. I've just ordered a set of marples chisels, a bench plane, block plane, fine tooth saw and measuring/marking tools in the hope of distracting myself from my mundane day job.
I'm not totally green to woodworking, my old man is a carpenter by trade, so i spent a lot of my youth getting in his way while he tried to work. Generally didn't show much interest in it at the time but something must have sunk in as I'd consider myself quite a bit more proficient in diy woodworking than most of my office working soft handed peers.
Have made a few maybe rougher attempts at diy projects for the house, but hoping to have a go at more decorative stuff now.
First question, where in south east London can i get small quantities of something nicer than your basic pine? Or can you order online?
