Is this all terribly quaint, or do people actually still do this in practice?


It was the same for me when I did O-level woodwork in the mid-to-
late-70s, and I still do it, both for 'joinery' and for slightly more
fancy work. I don't see many people doing it, but then I don't see
many people doing this kind of work either, apart from myself.

I mark wood where its important. Mostly it isn't.
