I bought two books whilst down the town today, cant remember the titles atm but one was very much a beginners book and it has a lovely lot of pictures to show what they are saying about and is in laymans terms for me

I will look the names up later or something lol

Books. Harumph. Don't talk to me about books! Having just been on the HRMC Self Employment Workshop and found out you can't count training courses or books against business expenses I am well peed off. (More about that tomorrow in another thread)

I think tho - and you'll correct me if I'm wrong - that you can claim magazine subs!

Actually, there is a bright side to understanding business expenses - for the first two years of my woodturning business, when I made a loss or just broke even, I got very nice tax refunds at the end of the year

Only if they are 'trade' magazines apparently.

I will do a thread with a few of the things that came up in a minute - please add any other informative things from business point of view

I'll speak to Keith when he comes home - he does the practical stuff like tax returns!

took delivery of the three books i ordered from Amazon today, and with the two i bought in the town yesterday, i have one hell of a lot of reading to do lol

I have an amazing book from the library. Another Jinks McGrath one - just called Rings - she is astonishingly good at explaining things.

I'd certainly go along with both Jinks McGrath and Tim McCreight - they are both excellent educators and communicators and I find there's usually plenty of photo's to illustrate what they mention.

The other book (the jewellery makers Bible when I was in uni) is Oppi Untracht's Jewelry concepts and tecniques. It may not be totally up to date with the 'newest' equipment - but it certainly covers just about everything you can imagine when it comes to techniques.

Just make sure you shop around though - it can be VERY expensive!
