No trouble to TAFE, they don't have to pay for em.

I surely was an apprentice, in my day you bought good quality, and the boss normaly lent a hand and you paid him off slowly. If I had gone out and bought a low quality item I would have been told to throw it out and get a propper item. It would then have been explained that if I wish to produce top quality work I would need top quality tools. I thank him for that I still have most of my top quality tools excluding the ones that low lifes have stolen over the years. Tools that you use year in yer out become part of you, if you pic up a hammer that is not your own you can instantly tell even without looking. I guess sadly this is something that younger people my never experience due to uor ever increasing throw away society.

Now that is a bit harsh on the throw away society. If it was not for the throw away item my wood pile would be a little bare.
