Really sorry to hear that Deano. Life's a learning experience, and when I think of some of the things I've gotten away with....I hope I've learnt something. Big things can bite, even if you've done the due diligence.

Here's 'cheers' to your mate.

Sorry to read this Deano.
The home workshop can be a very dangerous place, we all need to be as careful as possible when out there.

If I have learnt anything this year Deano is that life is a gift.
Don't put off doing what you want to do, sometimes the music stops way before we expect it too.
