Welcome along. You really need to get yourself some basic tools to get yourself going. One of the best ways of gaining experience when starting out is doing work for family and friends, and without some tools you won't get very far! Get yourself on ebay and have a look round for some second hand bits and pieces, there are some bargains. Also if you can stretch to about £400 there are starter kits available that will give you everything you need to get going, and most importantly, start making some cash.
