    Hi,

    Enjoy reading anything and everything that goes into this sub. Unfortunately it doesnt see that much traffic and thus threads rarely go over 5/6 comments.
    So where else do you go for your fix?
    I enjoy some of the following

    Paul Sellers blog and youtube (obviously)

    reddit.com/r/woodworking/ is fantastic, some of the projects from 'hobbyists' are insane. The price of their tools and what they can pick up on craigslist can be depressing though.

    http://www.simplecove.com/joelav/ - Not all that much here but this guy is the moderator on the reddit thread and things he posts are fantastic. A bit like paul sellers in his love for hand tools and excellent way of explaining things.

    http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/ - ANother good one with a lot of information and regular posters (which is all were missing here)
    http://s702.photobucket.com/user/diggerdelaney/profile/ - this guy is a regular poster on Ukworkshop and this is just a catalog of his projects but some of them are fantastic.

    There is nearly no end of blogs, websites, videos of every type of woodworking out there, but am interested to hear of any of your favorites.

    Cheers

    I have always wondered would a UKworkshop site work in Ireland, have been thinking about setting one up and see how it does, but I think it wouldn't see much traffic :(

    It's hard to know isn't it. There's a lot of users on the uk one based here I'd imagine. But then you have a readymade one here on boards and it sees such small traffic.
    Maybe the fact that there isn't subsections here limits people's interest, if lathe work isn't on the top page, you have to go searching for a thread on it and that's kinda hardship.
    Sure make one there and see ðŸ˜႒
