They are also good for sharpening small twist drills and those funny pointed wood twist drills .

Noticed a severe slow-down on the write speeds of my Kingston SSDs, and googling revealed that Kingston had pulled a bit of a bait-and-switch tactic with some of their drives, sending review ones out for press testing that had far better controllers than later production. Both drives I'd bought in the past two years were suffering from this, with write speeds being as low as 35MB/s.
Kingston can go swivel as far as I'm concerned and I'll never buy anything of theirs again.
Anyway, this arrived to replace one of the Kingstons....
I see the price of good 1TB drives is coming down fast, too.

Yes, I noticed that too, I think the introduction of some of the new HDD formats is having an effect.

So, and this is prolly going to derail things, yesterday I got a pic of a couple of motors at one of my local petrol stations:
Brought back a couple of good and not so good memories. Had a good look at them and both had been done cost no object.

Today I acquired 4 springs courtesy of Dr.Al. I’m planning to make a wood burner and hope to use some of these to make the door handle. Will post some pictures when finished Graham.

A free hotel stay. I’ve been working at extremely short notice moving one warehouse to another warehouse as it’s going to be demolished. We have three days to do it, not including the weekend when we can’t get access. They liked my pace of work so invited me for more work and paid for me to stay overnight

I need a 1.4mm hole, twelve quid gets you a set of thirty tungsten carbide PCB drills from 3mm down to 0.1mm. 
Back at uni now so no cast iron Herbert to keep them safe, I'm hand drilling with a dremel, wish me luck.

A couple of BSA items arrived today, a spanner and a new old stock (1965) service manual; it's a start, lol. Got an itch to get a bike again. Haven't had a BSA before, so the manual should get me up to speed on the technical aspects. I would like to find an early Bantam D1, a hardtail model.

I had a few BSA tools in my Matchless toolkit, I gave them away last year to a local with a B33 after he gave me spare mag.
A hard tail will certainly give meaning to the acronym Bloody Sore A****

Same here ....the blight was late this year so mine weren't wiped out like last year. Potatoes did very well too.

wrap the un ripened ones in a bit of newspaper and put them, in the cupboard for a few days and it ripens them

My grandparents had a sideboard with a felt lined drawer (cutlery?) which was used exclusively for ripening tomatoes.
Its in my spare bedroom, now, and I'm not sure if its psychosomatic, but I still sometimes catch a whiff of tomatoes when i open that drawer.
