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

[Nick DV]

The football players were deemed to be a depiction of slavery, the listing was pulled by ebay and my account threatened with suspension if they were to be re listed.

Absolutely disgraceful, but unfortunately a sign of these PC and woke times

 

[Arc Tourist]

Even worse, I sometimes stumble across something that I had forgotten I owned because I put it somewhere "safe." And by the time I re-discover it, I've already bought another one. That's one of the great contributing causes of redundant tools... ..................................................

I'm about to relocate the contents of a seatrain container from overseas at my storage facility to my new garage. Should be interesting to rediscover all the things I've forgotten we have.

Er16 collet set and shortwave IR heating lamp. Bloody hell it chucks out a lot of heat, lights up the whole room red!

 

[Jacktegla]

Let us know how you get on with that. I am trying to decide between this and the straight up 3/8" drive impact wrench.

I have both and personally the m12 3/8 impact is better and faster

If You come across those Weller solder gun tips, I’m still interested I one please.

Todays haul:

8" rotary table
10" rotary table
8" indexable chuck thing
And the star of the show, a nice 6" Kurt vice.

All in good order, replete with a nice crust of easily cleanable sminge and WD40.

I also got this old dog:

Yes, I know... but it was cheap.

Nice haul. Very nice even.

Yeah, I'm quite pleased with it. Bloody emptied my wallet though!

It's from a guy who does machinery moving & clearing - says he's got a boat load of cutters and such coming in next week. I told him to drop me a few pictures...

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

A box of bits...soon to be a box of fun. Going to make a little arcade game rig...assuming I can figure it all out (also part of the fun of course).

Even the cat was excited too....until it turned out not to be food.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you, or seadog.

Nice score there Ian. Paint 'em green.

I've got a dissertation to finish first!

 

[Pete.]

I picked up a hoard of c-spanners and other bits off ebay for £12 & post. Very happy!

 

[Seadog]

It doesn't matter how many C spanners you have, there never seems to be one that perfect for the job.

I put a couple of sets of the ceramic figurines on Ebay, the band / musicians were ok and the sale was completed. The football players were deemed to be a depiction of slavery, the listing was pulled by ebay and my account threatened with suspension if they were to be re listed. Which is odd as there are loads of other Robertson promotional items both old and modern, I can only assume it was flagged by a snowflake and triggered ebay's auto ban hammer.

You should have told them , you come from ,Nigeria , originally and asked, have you pulled my listing because , I am coloured? That would have wound someone right up .

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Also treated myself to one of these...I was really surprised that they can measure DC current too.

AC is easy but DC requires a bit more effort...well it said it could...I'll have to try it out.

 

[Munkul]

Last night I acquired another Beta roll cab, good secondhand price off ebay now a dedicated tooling and metrology cabinet. The grinder on top is only ever used for sharpening tungstens, I needed somewhere convenient for it...

 

[Barlidge]

Saved a couple of 10 drawer Bisley cabinets from the skip today. A school in Redhill relocating to new buildings built on the same site, the amount of stuff getting chucked would have a seasoned skip diver in tears - chairs, desks, filing cabinets - all looking in reasonable condition.

These bad boys the cheap and nasty set were as described
