Just to try and keep me going...

...rather than you! I had a crap day today with lots of other stuff that got in the way of twatting metal for the floor pan.


Still persistence and pig headed-ness is the only way this'll get done


So today - despite the crap - I made sure I got to the workshop to start this =>





I can't fail to stress the importance of a sturdy workbench - a decent vice - and some decent G-clamps that don't bend like the cheap ones (also shown in the picture above!)


Simple decent stuff like vices and decent G-clamps are seriously expensive these days - so be warned if you fancy a bit of shopping...


...the vice I got second hand - great deal despite the play in the screw - one day I plan to restore the vice but the problem is: It is so damn useful there never seems a moment when I'm not using it.
