Members Laphroaig Posted June 22, 2012 Members Report Posted June 22, 2012 Hi Podge, I'm in Bristol, starting out too, we're almost neighbours. I'm trying to figure out what tools to buy etc. at the moment. Sadly hitherto bereft of any artistic ability whatsoever. But I like making things, albeit ephemeral creations such as software applications and relational databases until now. I'm looking forward to making something tangible instead, lots of ideas in my head, hope I can realise them as well physically as I do electronically. Good luck in your endeavours and I look forward to seeing some of your work. Peace Quote
Members podge Posted June 23, 2012 Author Members Report Posted June 23, 2012 Real good to have someone so close and a beginner I've picked up some tools off ebay just waiting for some leather now to practace on any help I can give with designs just shout all the best with your endeavours podge Quote

Members Nick69 Posted June 26, 2012 Members Report Posted June 26, 2012 Hi Podge, I'm in North Devon but to be honest that is almost a different country to the rest of the UK. Nick Quote

Contributing Member UKRay Posted June 27, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted June 27, 2012 Hi Podge, Nice to meet you fella! Like my cousin Luke says, I'm not too far from you. Give me a call if you think I might be able to help. Frankly, you would probably do better to call Luke 'cos he's a whole lot older and slightly smarter than me; but then again, transatlantic phone calls do cost a fortune. lol Enjoy the forum and don't be afraid to ask if you don't know something. Cheers, Ray Quote
