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

This followed me home from the scrapyard today, $6 of which I got back as I brought some old motor innards in!

Thicknesser I assume?

Yes it’s a 12” table max cut 3”, to be honest I bought it to sell, but I have some boards at home I want cutting so I thought I’d send them through whilst it’s being auctioned off!

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Be keeping that myself. For 6 dollars it doesn't matter if it's used once a year

A center to fit both lathes spindles

$6? You stole that for cup of coffee money. Solid old NZ made machines.

Edit, I see you got $6 off for scrap you took in. How much did you get it for?

$200 in the end, so $194 I suppose. Made in 1952!

Today these arrived.

A sample of the Unipol/ Corrapol-BT roofing material. It's refreshing to find a Company which actually follows through on their promises to supply samples, as a result they'll be getting my business. Plus, they're in Scotland so will understand my needs clearly...... As a bonus, the chap I'm going to get to fit it has worked with it before so should get it right first time without 'practising' on my job.





Then, from our friends at Banggood - three light colour temps, it was a bit fiddly to fully assemble but I got there in the end. 5 x magnification and ideal for those close-up jobs like fine soldering etc





(the mug & biscuit are just to annoy @The_Yellow_Ardvark ...... )

Off now to make soup, it's the ideal 'meal in a bowl' for this weather.

May have spoken a tad too soon, neither of the buttons which alter light output seem to work. I've outlined the [problem to BG via 'Live Chat'] and they've asked for full details from mailing label, order number etc and pics of the problem - although they'll be as much use as a chocolate fireguard - how do you show something NOT working [I'm not into posting videos]. At least it looks as if they'll do something.......#fingerscrossed

Good news.

The milk curdled.
That's not the good news, the free replacement was not the good news.

The good news is:

I have started on the road to own my own Mercedes Benz.

I’m not looking till I’ve had a few beers

Oh why not?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A block of wood.
To use as an splitting block for "Ahem" 10 bags of wood.



One of the "10".
I think I need to count.
The Good Friend I was with today helped.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A way to tidy up the big mess.
@Chillitt

They look good.
