Completely right, irrespective of the type of head.

Been there, done that……..

Hi. I am in Suffolk as well. Welcome. Bit of a lurker really. But nice to know I am not alone in Suffolk……..

This all fits with me. I avoid woodwork like the plague - it seems I only have to look at a piece of wood and it warpes - but my combined electrical & plumbing case(s) almost need a hoist to get in and out of the car. I suppose humping them all about keeps me fit…….

I did my apprenticeship working for Rolls Royce Small Engine Division - De Havilland back in the day - early ‘70’s, and we knew them as Hellerman pliers. I remember the wiremen making up helicopter wiring looms on 8 x 4 sheets of ply with just a few pencil marks and a few nails to act as guides...

I fitted led 1200 x 600mm panel lights up in our village hall, they probably are on 50 - 60 hours a week, been up for about 4 years now. Never had a panel fail, but had several power packs fail. Fortunately, easy and cheap to replace.
