I won this old Starrite bandsaw on fleabay, It was at a company, The boss got two rather large lads to lift it in to the back of the Honda Civic I had at the time, When I arrived home both my lads were out!!
I unbolted the saw from the stand, It didn't make a huge difference, I almost broke me...
We had to give our Sausage back to my son a few weeks ago, He was his cat but when they sold their house the one they were buying fell through so they went to live with his inlaws, It's a very busy road so he came to stay with us for about a year, They bought a new house and he wanted his cat...
This is our Sausage, He was my lads cat but when they sold their house, The one they were buying didn't go smoothly, In the end they had to pull out and have just recently bid on another one, The lady in the first one didn't seem to want to complete and move out!, Theirs sold and and they had to...
Back when airguns were allowed to be sold on Freeads I put an Air Arms TX200 on as I struggled like crazy to get my stubby fingers in to the breech to load the dinky li'l pellets in, I also put an ASI paratrooper on that needed the trigger sorting for £35, Had immediate messages, One fella...
My 2014 Seat Altea still has the original battery fitted and clutch but the gearbox final drive has let go big style!!
Through the years i've only ever had old cars and never had a gearbox break, The last two cars I bought much newer have both gone with a bang! (Last one was a Honda Civic!)...
I've had this for several decades!
It makes a dead short and discharges a bad battery very quickly, A good battery heats those insulator plates up so that you could fry an egg on them!

Hi
I bought this 3.5hp Lawn king from free ads for just £20, I got it home and couldn't resist trying it out but around three quarters of the way through it stopped dead and wouldn't pull over again!
Same thing- There was no oil in the sump!, I gave it 30mins to cool off then filled it with...
Forgot to say that I bumped in to an old friend at the airgun fayre that knew I like binoculars and telescope type gear, He brought me a couple of Bino's that are fairly old!!, Both work fine but the Barr & Stroud are very dirty inside so whilst in collimation, The view is dark without any...
I went to the vintage airgun fayre this morn and brought a rather nice 'Precision' air rifle in 4.5mm cal by Oscar Will in the 1920's :thumbup:
Cheers John :drunk:
Hi mate
I have a few G-Shocks, Mostly fully Digital but I have to say, I still like to see analogue hands on a watch!
G'Shocks are brilliant watches though whatever the type! :thumbup:

Hi
I used to find all manner of stuff in the scrap bin that was outside the maintenance dept, Contractors had dropped this Bosch drill in, I tried it expecting it to be kaput but it works fine!, I reckon they had been issued with cordless drills!
It came with the front grip fitted which is...
Hi Matt
Looks like a mod moved it to the lathes thread, Just been through it and I already posted a couple of years ago, Is there a way I can delete the last thread (One that was moved)?
Cheers, john.
Here's a Unimat that i've never gotten round to putting together yet!, It's the modern extruded type that can be made in to a milling maching and other things!
An old Wade hobby machine..
