Well without this becoming as long as War & Peace here goes

I left school and started a precision toolmakeing apprenticeship, after 3 years i realised it wasn't for me, then i joined JW Automotive as a trainee, they were a race car company that ran the GT40's for Ford that came 1st, 2nd & 3rd at the Le Man 24 hrs race. after that i persued my interest in becoming a porn star.
Equipment wise i add as i need it, when i see something the right price i snap it up, i like to buy machines from the 60's as they are cheap and are extremely well built and generally are still very accurate.
A lot of what i do is made with a 4.5" angle grinder and hand tools though.
