    LED lights

    Look at led panels. I find the light from these much better than tubes. Not in the sense that they are brighter (which they are) but the light is better defused. I bought from toolstation but some here have found much cheaper sources. Edit: just 'got' the shap :)

    Workshop hardware

    First thing you will need is a bench, don’t try to make a posh one, all you need is strong and sturdy with no racking. After a while you can use your new skills and knowledge to build a posh bench on this first attempt. buy kit as you progress.

    Tool for awkward nut (not me)

    It's quite amazing that folks don't read the whole thread before answering. And thus keep going over and over old ground. I assume it's because they are using their phones to view and are not scrolling.

    Recommended fixing suppliers: Nuts and bolts.

    Most towns have a fasteners retailer, it's just a matter of tracking them down. In my experience they are located in a grubby trading estate and are the nearest modern thing to a "fork handles" store.
