fair enough. Until recently I was a welder and my partner is a metal worker so metal has always been my thing in the past, all our homemade tools are from tool steel though as we asumed that mild steel and other such would fail to hold an edge. Mild steel is far easier to get hold of though so...

sorry for the delay, and for the rubbish photos... seemingly my phones camera is not very good. Thanks whoever sent this :) I was amazed when I opened it and it will certainly come in handy. It's not made it across to the workshop as yet but it will do so soon

I have no idea how to email from my phone to be honest lol. Got a blackberry recently and not figured out how to use it yet. If it comes to it will send a photo from my phone to facebook and then copy it from facebook into photoshop to save and upload it. just seems like there has got to be an...

sorry for not posting yet, not really been on the forum and my laptop has decided that it will neither accept my SD card nor phone to transfer a photo. I will try to work out way to do so tomorrow

the welding equipment is my boyfriends not mine, never asked to use it and to be honest the MIG is not up to much adn the other is a stick welder and I can't do stick only MIG and TIG

unfortunately I don't have any welding equipment, no. All the stuff I used at work belonged to the company, and I got rid of my mask and all other PPE over a year ago as it didn't look like it would be used again apparently I am not elegable for most of the financial support due to a...

I often get told that my frame of mind and outlook are my biggest enemies. Something I am trying to work on. I appretiate that everyone has their own issues and that 99% of issues are possible to overcome. I guess in the moment it's just sometimes hard to see beyond that, and I am really...

Thanks. I know confidence is an issue I do have... I think the issue with the pieces of paper though is it seems to be what employers want, and I'm too old to get an apprenticeship it seems or that would be my ideal plan lol I've applied for a few regardless but my age does seem to be an issue...

it's occured to me that my written communication sucks and I am probably confusing you all... so overveiw: - my grandad was a welder/fabricator and taught me to do a lot as a child, he also had woodwork as a hobby and I used to help with things so got an idea fairly early that I enjoyed it and...

not so much that I can't do anything well, just not sure what one thing I can do best, which is what I thought you were asking... not something I have given that much thought to I guess as currently just been taking what I can get because essentially I have to... So far I started doing jobs for...

that's a pritty good idea erm, I'm not sure... I am better at making things than I am at reparing things and doing handyman type things, or at least I prefer doing that anyway, which is why I sort of prefer the making things and selling them plan. would that not maybe make the person feel I...

ye, I probably worded it badly. The issue with it is basically I have never put one of this length up and am trying to work out how to do so on my own. as I can't really support both ends, and in the past I have always held it up to make sure I have marked out the right places before doing any...

Unfortunately I've been sanctioned from JSA till march :/ for saying that I didn't see much point in my doing the work programme as they have sent me on 5 employability courses in the last few months and forced me to do functional skills despite my having a degree and basically I feel they are...

sorry, I know you're not being nasty really and such. I am just a bit desperate at the moment and have no idea what to do. I am aware of the importance of insureance, and am aware that not being able to afford it is not a good excuse. My logic at the start was after I'd done a few jobs (which...

I never asked for advice on how to do the job... just on the pricing... I am a trainee joiner and an ex-welder so I can do the jobs, wouldn't take any that I could not do. I am only doing this as I have no other way of gaining money, if there were any other options I would take them. It's the...

I know £15 or a month doesn't sound like much, but the only income I have is from these jobs, which means that last week - for example, my entire income was about £20... from which I need to buy food, and pay council tax, and bills, and next week there is rent... luckily my boyfriend is still...

the second I can afford it though I will be getting liability insurance... like litterally that same second, I don't want to go longer than I have to without it

I literally cannot afford insurance right now... the money I have coming in just about covered rent, struggling with bills and such let alone another thing on top... I am fully aware of the concequences of not having it and something going wrong, but I cannot afford to pay it :/ been looking...

thanks for all the replies. liability insurance is something I lack right now, mainly due tot he cost, and I know in the long run it's better to have it as the cost of something going wrong is far more but currently I have literally no income over than what I get for these jobs which as I am...
