Question 1 ....Whats the easiest , neatest ( and cheapest ! ) way to cut a
1/8" ( 3mm ? ) groove along the end - grain of a length of wood?
( Can you buy cheap router cutters in this size?)

Yes :-

Question 2 ... Does anyone know of a retail source ( in the UK) for
"magic-wires"

Woodfit - www.woodfit.com

According to my catalogue they do 4 sizes:

Order Size (mm)
code

SS140 160
SS200 192
SS220 224
SS300 288

Price (from my out of date pricelist) is 27p for shortest up to 30p for
the longest.

Note it says a 3mm wide by 8mm deep slot is required (which the above
router cutter may not manage to the required depth!) - hence

may be better....
