Hum, now you mention it I do know someone who would buy one of those.R2D2?
Edit: A 12 or 14 kg would be a better R2D2 proportion, I have a couple of those too.

Sounds good, I would go propane fired as I have one and a half (?) full 19kg s that would at least get me started.
Sorry I got distracted by talk of R2D2

not heard they make welders but they make battery chargers
After nearly lopping the top off my little finger I've managed to make a complete melter, some 600mm dia with checquer plate floor, and red bottle top.
It has a mounting frame which will allow it to tilt without the spout moving around. Pics to follow, when I get home...

Not heard of the make, but the welder itself looks like a generic 70s/80s "magazine/mail order" buzzbox.
I've seen the same shape/layout in a range of colours and labels
I had one, in yellow, marked "Middleton Machinery".
Good welder, to be honest -it was the first (working) one i ever owned. Paid a fiver for it, iirc, and must have made £1000s with it, over the years.
I passed it on to a neighbour, who still has it afaik.

You have too much time on your hands.I bought another watch!
I put a Bund style leather strap on it as the Zulu it was one was very soft and floppy!!
It has a high dome Sapphire crystal and a Miyota automatic movement that handwinds too.

Some more project wood, water damaged oak work top 3m and used 2m oak worktop (not badly damaged but not good enough for retail)
This is what i made out of the last one, only metal work are some brackets to hold it onto the stud wall (even more fun when it is a pocket door)

Thank you to:
@Hitch
@puffernutter
This lot has landed in my lap.
First from Hitch.
Raised eyebrows, but it will help.
May be next time, you will show of the rest.
Thank you.
This has the look of an interesting project.
Again Thank you.

Got theses as well.
But they are like Norbert.
Useless, they don't open, the blades are bent, the blades is dull and the feel flimsy.
Oh yes exactly like Norbert...........

……………………………. I also feel kind of bad due to my painter job
Because I will surely make a mess again and spray paint all over it
Then it would be considered Abstract Art. Just sign your name and one day it might be worth a fortune.
