Half the tools you buy you'll wonder how you did without, the other half you'll wonder why you bothered.

Trouble is you wont know until you buy which is which.

Items I can't do with out:
- no 11 knife,
- Razor saw,
- Stanley knife,
- Sharp scissors (get from dressmaking shop)
- Good film covering iron
- model stand (for working on the underside, and before undercarriage fixed)
- lots of T pins
- Permagrit sanding block (I think GP do something similar)
- Metre (yard) long steel rule as well as 1 foot long.
- Extensive set of drill bits (I have 1mm to 10mm at 0.5mm intervals)
- Lots of space
- Understanding wife (or mother if you are not old enough for one)

This is my list of absolutely must haves, I have plenty of other things that I use a lot but could live without if pushed.
