Hi,
Thanks for sharing your interesting story Jim.
Do you repair radios or do you do full restorations including cabinetwork?
Coming from a mining family I was straight into the pit aged 15 in 1962 (Mechanical engineering). At this age everything in life was exciting; with the battery on my belt; lamp clipped into my hard hat; donkey jacket and hob nailed boots and carrying engineers tool bags I quickly settled into my new life; because of my time in the pit I'm now scared of nothing and it taught me self confidence. It was indeed a hard life but I could trust my mates with my life. I cycled over four miles each way in all weather riding a Triumph Palm beach cycle.
Kind regards, Col.

Happiness is a wreck of a cabinet to restore.
