Fed up with IT job now and want something that is a bit more rewarding and relaxing. Always been keen on woodwork and always found it easier to think when your being tactile with the thing you are creating, so Im thinking of going down that route and working for myself or for a small bespoke furniture company. BUT WHERE DO I START???
Im in the UK and it seems to be almost imposible to get yourself on the ladder, anybody help with tips/apprentaships/courses/contacts.
Grouty.

Tried & True Original
For the ultimate warmth, glow, and clarity, in a hard-wax oil, Adam Godet recommends Tried & True Original. To get there, however, you’ll need to buff it between coats.

There's a woodworker extrordinaire member from the UK, Richard Jones. He may or may not see this thread. If he doesn't, repost it with UK in the title, maybe he'll pitch in.
AMEN! I second what ForestGirl says, contact Richard Jones.
