Well hi there folks, I have been an active member on the forum sceen now for 5-6 years now on about 12 forums all to do with engineering,welding,fabrication and 4X4 modification. And to my amazement I only stumbled accross this forum last week, So I just had to join. :clap: A bit about me............ I am 37 years young, Divorced with 4 1/2 children living with me, 3 boys 2 girls, And believe it or not its only the girls that are interested in my workshop doings :scratch: Oh well they seem to love it anyways. Their ages range from 16 down to 4. I am a Chef by trade but left the industry to to a workplace accident a few years ago where I broke my spine in 3 places. After many trips to surgery and rehab I have been told that I cannot returne to the industry as prolonged standing will do more damage to what already can't be fixed. Plus it would contribute to more pain, And quite frankly I have enough of that already and I really don't want to take more pain killers than I'm already on. As far back as I can remember I have always had a passion for fabrication and machining, And have been collecting machines and tools for over 20 years, Playing in the workshop at any chance I could get. As a young bloke I was told if I wanted to leave school I must have an apprenticeship before I left. I was no good at school and I tried for months to get a start in the metalwork trades but to no avail, So I ended up in chefing just to get out of school :loco: Anyways I spend as much of my free time in the workshop as my back and the kids allow me to. Here are a few pics of my little coplex. As you can see I am in the process of extending the main workshop as I'm out of room.....AGAIN !!! I have also added the lean-to for more storage space. Still needs a floor though. |
