im not a use a wrench for a hammer type guy if it means just a pop to the tool box to get the right tool but as the one i used is twisted and near for the bin job ive got it handy just now and again you make the wrong choise

Thank you to @Phil_D



I understand the windings are burnt.

But as I have said the following parts will be donated to a MIS:
Both stones.
Both tool rests.
Both guards.

That means they have a Bench Grinder they can use with the correct safety attachments.
Plus a spare stone.

I know, I know. Essential travel only, but I had to help someone sort the workshop of a deceased friend

There's some lovely stuff in there. Loads that I left, but some big lumps of metal heading in this direction in a week or so.

 

[Seadog]

A random selection from the top of the pile

I'm a little miffed, I ordered a couple of UNF taps on Sunday after finding that the 1/4" ones that I thought I had were in fact 12-28 UNF. Now I've a whole box load

 

[sparkysy]

Ooh go on do tell what is the metal thing bottom right with the round pin plug on in the first pic! Is it a spot welder?

Edit: good haul sorry for the loss of your friend!

@Seadog
2 things.
First picture.
Top RHS.
What's the Blue round thing?

Second Picture.
Those rotary files are a good item to have.

 

[Seadog]

Is it a spot welder?

It is. Very old and fitted with an ancient 3-phase plug (it's a single phase machine).

Thanks. All very unexpected. CV19 related.

In reverse order: I didn't have any rotary burrs, so I'm happy. I couldn't find the die grinder though.

The blue round thing is a soup pot

Unfortunately the soup seems to have set

Alright, alright - it's a Crocell pot.

@Seadog
Thank you.

Those burrs may be 6mm shank, they work well in a power drill.

 

[Ashley Burton]

@Seadog as crazy as it sounds I was thinking the other day about how someone would go about sorting through my stuff when I'm no longer around

We all collect such an array of tools, equipment & other stuff that it becomes an Aladdin's cave!

They are.

His workshop is fairly extensive. Plus his small collection of motorcycles; BSA Y13, Rudge Ulster, Golden Flash, B33 plus two others that I can't recall at the moment.

Apparently the neighbour's father's workshop makes this look small. He's been dead four years and they still haven't got around to sorting it out.
