Sod Nettos, unless you really enjoy it of course, should look for a job where you could put your metal fettling powers/ enthusiasm to good use.

Just my 3p

I'm off to apply for the training for the job that I want.... taking my own advice and that

You dont need paper work to get a job, you have to prove that your capable of doing the work, which you are
I do a lot of fabrication in work and we haven't got half the tools you got in your shed and we do this for a living. I am trying to talk my boss into buying a plasma cutter as it would save me alot of hassle

I'm reasonably sure a custom shop would be interested if you parked your homemade 4motion turbo caddy outside and said something along the lines of "giz a job" Or if you take it to some car shows and get talking to people.
Also there is a thing called ILA (dependant where your based) but they can give you between 200-500 per year towards college or evening classes. I'm thinking of taking a fabricators course to get my welders ticket. Just need to get my finger out my hoop
If you need a hand writting a cv/ covering letter man gimme a PM.

PS Plasma cutters are the closest thing you can get to having an actual light sabre

Look forward to the videos all the same dude.

nice one pal  ,, plazma cutters are good , theres a few types that work differnert mines a push the nozzel down and pull up and press the trigger to arc as it blows thew steel , better when ur following a edged outline , makes cutting so easy , as free hand can be a little tricky in keeping the line/curve right lol, got mine of ebay *said it was faulty ,,, as it wouldnt arc ,, , so i riped the curcit board out  within 20mins repalced the rely and never had a problem since ,,, bargin for 70.00 lol cuts 5mm  ok too
