Kentish fairy or fairy of Kent?

Fairy of Kent and when you've spent 50 quid on a manicure, why would you risk a broken nail in a pair of gloves from a builders merchants?

I bow to your well reasoned argument but I reject the notion of getting a good quality manicure anywhere in Kent.

Everyone seems to use that Bobbins company in Bristol so I guess that's my option, but I did want to do a bit of touchy feely, not being exactly sure what width to go for..

They do seem to be the last man standing. I've not found an alternative. I suspect there must be easier ways to make a living than selling timber to amateur boatbuilders, so good luck to them.

They have other strings to their bow, I think.

Brunzeel ply is sold somewhere in Essex, I think, but I think that might be the wrong end of the price range - very posh ply.

If you are building a prototype, do you need marine ply? WBP uses the same glue, but is allowed more pieces in the top sheet and larger voids in the middle, but I've used it for cheap projects many a time.

That lot sell it in kent. They also sell marine ply, but starting at 9mm - not much use.
