Good Luck,
Welcome to the world or stripped knuckles*, frustration, self recrimination, moods from your partner and blind bloody anger**!
A really valuable lesson (that I still haven't learnt apparently) is one that the old guys on my college course keep quoting to me every time I f#ck
up:
MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE!
Cheers Grandad!
* Buy some of those thin latex gloves (£5 per 100)- they make all the difference. I've only taken off one knuckle since getting these and nothing was
going to stop a hurt hand when accidentally hitting it with the club hammer and not the punch!
** Can you tell that I've just realised I'm gonna have to cut out 4/5 rails that I've placed wrongly?
 
Not to put you off or anything though...

Im building a McSorley 442, and so far, up to the 'H' tubes all has gone well. I have a week off next week, that will be 9 days in the garage
shouting at my hacksaw as im too tight fisted to buy a clamp for the grinder..

Started construction too!!! Steel arrived yesterday, drew up board (easier said than done as my board wasn't square) and had the steep learning curve
of cutting with an angle grinder on stand and learning how to weld! By the end of the day had most of the bottom rails down and tacked and its all
nice and true. I'm a very happy man.......
