starting up

[Stefano]

Well said stretch .
I am of the same opinion on tools .. you need the pro stuff to do a pro job . speed is essential these days . Customers want you in an out with the minimum of fuss.

Stefan .. if you worked in the industry for 10 years then you should not need to ask what consumables and other stuff you need , as you should already have this knowledge. If the workshop you worked for had all the tools you needed then surely you would know , however if you are starting out and have not had site experience then there are basic stuff you should have , like public liability insurance , good quality dust sheets , sandpaper , screws, glue , so on . You will find these things out as you progress as some of us do things in a different way to others. I have been building my kit for 30 years now and as stretch says you have to have the big stuff to look credible these days. Good luck with your venture , not easy to get established these days.

yes I do have a good idea of all the consumables that I need, but I'm just trying to make a comprehensive list of all the things that we would need, and pricing it all up atm so if anyone can think of anything that I may have missed then please keep the ideas coming. All input is welcome
