Thank you for the safety advice. I will now be getting a visor.

As you all know I am a complete newbie. 1 bowl, 1 goblet / or duck egg cup and some pens. This forum is invaluable for advice and it's good to get heated amongst friends from time to time. Why ? To have so many people with so much experience with opposite opinions makes me realise that I must not simply follow the books or YouTube but take responsibility and form my own ideas as I approach each risk. A hobby this is, but it's dangerous equipment.

Thus from time to time, to really argue is fantastic for us newbies, so much knowledge, so much advice. So thank you all, and only people who really respect each other can really get stuck in, so I'll pull up the chair and listen and learn. No doubt usual service will resume and you will continue taking the Michael on other topics.

Don't leave Maurice, this has initiated a very valuable debate.

[QUOTE="Paul, post: 44894, member: 299"] Maurice Thank you for the safety advice. I will now be getting a visor. As you all know I am a complete newbie. 1 bowl, 1 goblet / or duck egg cup and some pens. This forum is invaluable for advice and it's good to get heated amongst friends from time to time. Why ? :thinks: To have so many people with so much experience with opposite opinions makes me realise that I must not simply follow the books or YouTube but take responsibility and form my own ideas as I approach each risk. A hobby this is, but it's dangerous equipment. Thus from time to time, to really argue is fantastic for us newbies, so much knowledge, so much advice.
