DIY magazine ( OT?)

Hi, My OH has a birthday soon. I would like to get him a magazine subscription ,preferably to a DIY type magazine. The trouble is I cannot find any. Many years ago he used to buy "Practical Plumber" or " Practical Householder ( or something like that. It changed names several times and it morphed into woodworker and carver ( or something similar) eventually and my OH didn't have anything he could read ( he doesn't like wood working/carving/ wood turning etc.) I was looking for something of a practical magazine with little projects of sorts he might do ( like fixing and plastering etc). Nothing too complicated -I doubt he will get beyond planning stages but he likes to read the things and I am sure he imagines doing them! Nothing too major or complicated or nerdy that you need a degree to decipher. Is there any magazine that DIYers could recommend that he might find interesting?. Thanks in advance for useful suggestions ( I will ignore all trolling answers from the usual suspects)

Maybe Geoff's offering comes with online support and a warranty? ;-)

Or on-site support if he fancies zooming off to the far south west?
