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

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Good job they clarified the meaning of naturist.....just imagine someone turning up thinking they wanted a decorator who was also into nature!

Actually I do know someone who would do it....but they'd probably have to pay extra I think!

Recommend a chap i do work for. He's always slack paying so don't feel too bad.

Then don't dip it into the paint.
The bristles will be at the wrong end.

I'm a messy bugger with a paint brush.
Gets everywhere.

Aqquired these for storage over the weekend.

Was tidying out an old cupboard in the house and found this.

And finally this has been kicking about for ages as it was dropped off apparently not working, no wire feed and no arc, its lay about for a couple of years as I presumed it was toast, after reading a lot of the threads on here reckoned it was worth some investigation, after I cut the melted tip out the Swan neck we were in business, its on gas less wire and sat about for 2 years but it made a reasonable job of welding the test piece.

it was around 12 quid from one of the usual suspects.
trouble is, i cant remember where from.


i lost all my emails over xmas, so i cant even backtrack: and its not showing in my order list.

its arrived *quickly* though: ordered in the perineum.[1]

[1] what my friend calls the bit of wasted time between xmas and new year.


<edit> £17.58 from banggood. ordered 28.12, from china warehouse.

I think that they will be fine if use them only on single phase
For people like me who need guarantee that the tool can provide minimal protection from overvoltages while working on live stuff ...
Those screwdrivers are something like a Russian roulette

I don't intend to "ever" work on live stuff: I've spent a fair amount of money on equipment to make sure that I don't.

After Christmas negotiations i have acquired a turn key business which involves and includes mixed heavy machinery on the premises...more info after the Solicitors have had there feed at the trough. Wanted something which would not involve waiting for dry weather to earn a crust after over 40 years getting frustrated

How long will that last you?
With me about 3 or 4 days literally.

 

[dobbslc]

That might last a month or so.

Not your only source of heat then?
It's crazy how much wood I go through!

Today at the pawn shop for $19! A Warren & Brown deflecting beam torque wrench, 1/2” drive. I’m convinced they had no clue what it was... total bargain!

It was the only source of heat up until mid October! Then we got the new oil boiler installed and working.
