My plumbing (poly push fit and copper) is ok, can fit rads etc. done a carpentry course before. Don't fancy a sparks course; that shift is witchcraft. Got city & guilds in diesel mechanics. Could maybe do petrol engines.
Plastering could be useful. I'm shit at it, though my rendering is passable.

Saw a marquetry and inlay course locallyLooked really interesting until I saw the price! It was cancelled due to lack of candidates - @ what worked out at £35.00 per 2 hour lesson I wasn't surprised.

It's well known. I have an 18v cordless, corded SDS drill & corded 5.5" angle grinder.
Need a bench mitre. Will get a Makita as the DeWalt ones are stupidly expensive. Their circular saws aren't as good as Bosch.
Also want a multi-tool, but no idea what to get.
