Congratulations and good luck with the new job Bob

Just shows Bob , you must have had good reference and came across really keen and capable if the fact you have not done tool making did not deter the new boss, also it would say to me that the new boss seems a canny bloke who goes with instinct. I am sure you are a lot better than you will be giving yourself credit for and will do the job no problem and enjoy it too

Best of luck and enjoy it , Mick.
