    G'day

    G'day to all on this great forum.
    My name is Ian and i make money from other peoples junk.
    Recently i took some time of work because my partner had our second beautiful little girl
    However i had to take a little longer off work due to complications so i got back into scrapping very part time to keep some coin coming in.
    When i returned to work three weeks ago i was informed that i no longer had work in the new year.
    However this just means that i will now be scrapping, restoring, and improving junk, full time from now on and staying positive i think this is a good thing.
    I collect stuff in my toyota lite ace van and make use of two sheds and an empty garage for breakdowns and fixing stuff.
    Tools i use frequently include magnet (of course ), cordless screwdriver, sledge, sawzall and heavy duty secateurs i use for wire. (i used to prune fruit trees years ago and i guess these feel more natural to me than side cutters or the like.) also welder and soldering iron and multimeter. I've also got a christmas gift voucher that is screaming ANGLE GRINDER!
    I have learnt a lot from cruising this forum already and hope to contribute some back soon.
    Ian from south of Sydney, Australia.

    Welcome to the forum and welcome to the new little girl to the world.

    I think you will find there is much to learn here if you read the old posts. Also you will wonder why you didn't buy an angle grinder a long time ago. Best of luck in the new year, Mike.

    Glad you joined us brass (usually I shorten names by initials, but sometimes I must refrain...don't think olddude would like being called OD and I don't think you'd like BM either). I know you'll learn a lot by reading past threads as well as knew and I hope you do real well in the business for the sake of those little girls.
