Default Introduction
Hello all, I am new to all this ether chat so I am afraid that I am a little less than proficient at present.

I have been metal bashing for some time - but like my fleet I am rusty -so I have need to re-learn and recall as it has been a long, long time since I last touched the proper tools during my apprenticeship.

I hail from a wet and cold Wales and have a half finished Triumph wing to sort using only hand tools so when it warms up a little I shall go back to making some noise.

Need some assistance with finding decent tools - I have to do this carefully as I am not a millionaire!
