Today I acquired...........

This item. There will be another post about this.

If that's a meter, I recall my Dad having one the same - don't know what happened to it though.

 

[eddie49]

I'd guess it's a voltmeter, in a bakelite case, with two ranges - maybe 12v and 240v.

Got some good stuff today. Delivery of a J & S drill vice, and a few items my Wife found in a charity shop for me. A bunch of Ikea light fixtures, a folding cart (which needs a simple fix), and a plastic box which is perfect for Tig consumables; Happy day !

Thanks, the dimensions are just about right for consumables, 190mm x 190mm x 40mm deep.

Today, this followed me home - I only went to look....honest! At £10 it's hard to go wrong, I reckon.

Despite only having three legs, it kept up with me all the way back.





It's lacking the foot stand, but it should be an easy 'make' from what I have lying about, assuming it's really necessary.

assuming it's really necessary.

Of course it is.

It is a fun build.

I like that cart!



At one time, Ikea fittings demanded their own size/fitting bulbs, nothing 'ordinary' would fit. Is this still the case?

I like that cart too its the sort of thing father would get exited over for his motorhome, and ive just ordered one off the flebay for him.

Awww........ Are you going to keep the wee chap?

 

[indy4x]

This followed me home earlier this week, had an interesting time shifting it



The seller also had this welding table in his garage and for the.money I couldn't leave it there. It's flat and square although the welds are a bit poop, he did say it was his 1st go at welding

Aye, he might just have found a place to lodge, for the foreseeable anyway.

Replacement scale for my heidenhain DRO, an LS703 scale, got it for price of shipping.

 

[knighty]

does it count if you've paid for them but haven't had them picked up yet?

a pair of alloy squares from pressbrake1 :-)

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A good day today.

Decent finds in a skip on one site.



Record No. 1 with a different handle.



MOD Gun cleaning kit. Mrs TYA saw it in a shop and brought it. @Wozzaaah The one in church walk.



Sam skip as the vice, two odd chucks and some party shot glass's. Great for mixing up small amount of paint or seize for gold leaf.



From the same site as the white railway lantern, one of the "sparkies" saved me this.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

4 bottles of oxygen and 2 cans of paint.
Ordered Thursday morning arrived today.

Got me a new gadget to compliment my Cardboard aided design system, this thing is so useful for marking/scribing out oddball shapes on steel plate

Later on I'll have a look at him but I'm sanding and need a vacuum now.
My cunning plan is to have him in my garage...

 

[MikeBB1970]

A handful of rust including a knife (which I thought I'd put on here already ) ; it's a ' Survivor' badly sharpened on a grinder but all free.

I found information on YouTube about the knife. Also purchased an electrical socket rethreading tool and another book.

And a larger item arrived yesterday , for wife ; some Lazy Girl wotsit thing.
