Don’t miss us at this year’s Midlands Woodworking Show at the Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire.

New Craft machines

At the show, we will be reacquainting visitors with our new Craft range of machinery, which some of you may have seen at the Harrogate Show last November. The range is perfect for the discerning home user and those dedicated, creative souls who literally spend hours in pursuit of refining their craft. Therefore, within the range, you will find new lathes, bandsaws, scroll saws, sanders, grinders and a table saw. Furthermore, these machines are affordable and come with enhanced features not normally found on machines at this level.

Axminster Craft machinery

Axminster Rider and UJK Technology

As well as Craft, we will be focusing on two of our best known and well loved brands: Axminster Rider and UJK Technology, both of which are now well established. Axminster Rider planes represent a good standard in traditional, quality plane manufacture. Axminster has designed and developed every plane and they offer great value. Other Rider hand tools will be available at the show. UJK Technology products are also designed and manufactured in-house at Axminster. Covering routing, measuring and wood jointing, UJK products are highly innovative, accurate and reliable.


The Axminster team

Some of our most experienced staff will be looking after these tools and machines, demonstrating how they can enhance the user’s craft or hobby. Rider planes will be in the capable hands of Matt Estlea and Dean Maddison. (Matt is now lecturing at Rycotewood, but used to work at our Basingstoke store.) Steven Taylor and Scott Peach will explain all you need to know about UJK Technology. And the new Craft range will have Stephan Parker and Simon Trinkwon taking care of it. As with the Harrogate Show, Skill Centre Manager Craig Steele will head up the team.

So, don’t hesitate to come and see us. As always, our friendly team will be available to answer any of your woodworking or tool and machinery related questions and provide guidance on purchase and use.
