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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Dropping more stuff of today at a good local Charity Shop, again I was asked if some bits were of use to me.
I was pleased to receive the items and left £50 for them.



A pair of pliers, plus 4 brass drawer handles.




Spot welding gun, it has been used. It has come a few miles as well.



I wonder if the company is still trading?
I will google it later.



Hide face hammer, short shaft, but looks good.





Another big Die holder, only one die. Covered in crap. Looks old.



A MCM, from Tandy.


This brought back some fond memories. I had a similar model, I brough back in the early 1980's, served me well.



Si I had to dig it out.
Can you spot mine?






Again, this was heading to the scrap bin.
I am hoping to break this for spares.

I have in the shed, one of the Kelarc sheet metal welders that you use off an arc welder with a diode in. I bought it late 80’s I suppose. Like the old joke, tried it once ....... I did succeed to get a passable weld on a body panel, but never managed again. They used to demonstrate them at the shows & cut a patch out of a bonnet & put the piece back in, so it was possible. The good thing was, I never paid for it, I bought it mail order direct from Kellers on a credit card. I was never billed for it, & ages after when I checked the handwritten slip had the number wrong.

so thats why kellers went under

Bit of robbing from the "New to me." Tilley lantern and a bit of fuel. Bit of coffee.


The 2 are working.
Yes. I know the mantles need a bit better fitting. But As I said in the past I am dealing with some good ones and some crap ones.



The far right one, the one today supplied the following items.
Decent No return valve spring.
A decent "On/Off" valve.
A Decent hood and burner.

I may rebuild the far right one, time will tell.

Did wonder whether I ought to have deleted that bit I always wondered whose account it went against. I only realised ages after what appeared to have happened, do you think they will want it returned?

Who

I can't remember now!

I acquired about 15 litres of proper creosote.

A friend used to keep chickens and got it from a farmer to stop lice living in the coops I believe. Not sure what I'll do with it but I couldn't let it go to the tip (Not that they'd have taken it anyway).

 

[RichardM]

Todays Car boot;
Easterbrook Allcard B5 Tap wrench
AMP Type F 575046 terminal crimps
Stripmaster AWG 8 -12
Square key (hopefully fit the rescue dogs kennels as they keep loosing them. If not at least I'll know what size to make a few for them )
All the above for £10.

Drills;
ESC 7/16", Osborn 11.8mm, SKF 12mm, Presto 14mm, 50p each.

Spanners 50p each also.

and foraged a load of hazelnuts before the squirrels got to them!

Happy man today

Picked up a couple of these in Lidl today, i already had a few, very handy for storing taps and dies and the like.

Today I acquired a hydraulic bead breaker for the tractor/truck rims. Its a lump and a half, dont think my portapower pump is going to hold enough oil and the fitting is massive in comparison

What's going on with the coke can?

I meant to post that up last week, one of the lads left it on the dash of the Transit in the sun and it exploded

For all those north of Watford the sun is the big red thing in the sky you get to see on post cards
