Howdy one and all - newbie member but experienced DIY amateur here - I really should sign up and do some City & Guilds courses one of these days - interested in Electrics (most enjoyable), will do plumbing as a matter of 'have to' but very rewarding when I've succeeded, brickying as and when but prefer to pay a pro, enthusiastic carpenter along the lines of 'functional but **** to look at' - again, prefer to marvel at the work of a true craftsman than 'have a go' myself, but practice makes perfect...
Fave tool - my Bosch PSB24 cordless drill
Most fun tool to use - Clark pipe bender
Most hated tool - routers - bloody noisy, bloody messy, bloody necessary.
Skills I haven't tried yet:
Welding
Plastering (filling holes with Polyfilla don't count)
Fitting UPVC windows
Tools I'd love to own:
A lathe
A pillar drill
An accurate mitre (maybe I'm doing it wrong????)
An Asimo robot fully pre programmed for all aspects of home DIY.
