Hi guys,
For starters, I'm not sure if this s the right section to write this, or if it is forum etiquette around here to do so at all, but I made an intro thread.

In case you're wondering my background is as follows:
-Did very basic electronics (all of short circuits 1 and some of 2) around the age of 8-11. I'm coming on 15 now and really want to start again. It's a great hobby and being an electronic engineer is my aspired occupation. But at the same time, a lot of what I learnt from when I was younger has gone in one ear and out the other, so I am essentially a total newbie.

-I'm planning on building a workshop in a little while, but it's something that I'm needing to take my time with. In essence, I have blown an absolute shizload on other hobbies and I'm still in debt... I'll have some descent cash again soon. I do work and I end up with a reasonable amount for my age to put towards hobbies. It's also worth noting I'm gonna go for a ultracompact lab in my wardrobe. Think PACKED tight.
-I've watched the show for some time, and it's what has inspired me to come back. Thanks a lot to Dave for making it. I've watched countless videos and used google to try and make sense of a lot of the technicalities, but I don't really know where to start.

With that out of the way, has anyone got some beginner tips or words of advice on projects and or gear?
Cheers,
Dylan
