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

[slim_boy_fat]

He's been dead four years and they still haven't got around to sorting it out.

You could offer to help....

@Seadog madness!

At this time of my life I have no idea who would sort through my stuff

I think I would sell most of it off before I was too old to sort it out myself

I wouldn't want to leave it to someone else to do

Me neither. My brother wouldn't have a clue what anything is. The problem is detaching yourself from the memories, accepting the realities, and not dying before you get the chance to sell

 

[angellonewolf]

^^^said to my otherhalf if I died dont you sell my stuff for what i said I paid for it

That was hard to explain

(This come about as a lady was giving her deceased partners stuff on facebook away )

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

@angellonewolf

Oh she will not.
She has promised it to me.

 

[sparkysy]

@angellonewolf
Had a similar conversation with my o/h a while ago.
Still didn't tell her about all the things I have stashed away as well as the daily use stuff!

 

[brightspark]

[Arc Tourist]

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

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

That fully qualifies as 'essential travel'

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

£0:01p an item?
Sounds good.

 

[angellonewolf]

^^^^^ sounds good as im not hoping to pop my clogs for at least 30 years most wont be worth even that

and that would be after my kids have picked through the lot there wount be much left

 

[Scruffywelder]

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

Thanks. All very unexpected. CV19 related.

Might be the type of spot welder that has a separate timer module that the bit you've got plugs into. Think they require a couple of extra pins for the timed function or something and the easiest/most economical way to do it was to use 3 phase commando plugs.

Milwaukee M18 Router, managed to get it whilst the eBay sellers were competing with each other to who had the lowest price. Prices are already going up from the £262 low price of last week. I'll get it tried out this week.

A client very kindly gave me an anvil, not the best example but better than not having one, so very grateful.

Two bicks ! May not be in the best of conditions as you say but a very nice thing to be given.

 

[brewdexta]

Not today, but I was unaware I had it, it was in a box of my dad's stuff. I think I will put some sort of LED bulb in it and use it the new bar area. No idea what it is off, probably some ancient bit of plant with the yellow paint. Its a pity the lens/diffuser is missing, unless that is in yet another box..... I'm not going to restore it, just wipe the muck off and use it.

Cheers
Andy

Looks like a 1950/60's AA Landover Additional Light.
Used to light up the area of a stranded car.
