    Yes agreed.

    I'll have a look at some UK based sites. Unfortunately most of my needs at the moment is for power tools. Having moved into my townhouse about 5 months ago, there are a few larger projects that i want to undertake (permanent work bench with storage, cabinets, tables etc). Once i've gotten those out of the way then smaller projects will be the priority. I only have a single car garage to work out of so i don't want to fill it up too much before i can get the larger projects done.

    I eventually want to get into box/toy making as this seems to me (I'm a complete noob to both) seems like the most feasible with the space i have available. Plus i can make gifts for my son and my multitude of nieces and nephews

    Can I suggest that you be a little careful if you intend buying / importing power tools from the UK. Not all tools are 230/240 Volt. Many UK building sites insist on the use of 110V tools, which means those tools will be on sale in the UK and not necessarily labeled as 110V -- labeling such as "Building site approved" would imply to a UK tradie that the tool was 110V.

    partial reference Case 355 - All tools on building sites need to be a maximum of 110V
