I have lots of tools and a 'get stuck in' attitude which have served well so far.

I have a 3yr old girl, and a boy on the way, so time is limited and progress will be slow!

Love the build threads on the forum and and associated YouTubes!

Be prepared for lots of noddy questions from me (some so noddy that internet searches so far haven't found the answers - so they must be so noddy that nobody feels it's worth documenting the answers!) - please be gentle!

Thanks,
