If my plan comes together then it will get used as scaffolding, want to take down one of the walls of my lockup and rebuild it a few feet further across, not sure if I'll get planning for it tho

Another cheap spray gun... this time a HVLP with a 2.0mm tip for a faster/smoother finish with heavy 1pack paints... here next to my crappy old clarke gun that's done loads of work!
At £20 each, they're throwaway guns... I'll probably wash it and keep it like I always have, though... especially if its any good. If the weight is anything to by, it's not overly inspiring... but will it fire paint at steel doe?

Not the best picture but I concur:
OH wanted the utility room revamped so she designed it all herself and sourced all the tubes and fittings from DC Iron up near Newscasle, divvent yer knaaaa. I got some new scaffold boards and built it all up and it works a treat.
Got home to some T track and nuts and a paddly on/off switch for my table saw build:
And waiting in the van since I bought it on Tuesday:
Will spend an hour squaring and aligning and rigging up some clamps for the vice tomorrow after which it's goodbye to Heath Robinson drilling

The one off Stronsay. No sh1t!Which of the wrecks in Scapa Flow did they come from?.
Well the vice did. I can’t remember her name but she ran aground in the sixties. The residents claimed her and that vice was taken by my mate when he was a nipper out of her workshop. I’ll find the name, he did tell me.
There was a court case and the orcadians were in the right but they got shafted by the court in Edinburgh and ended up with pence.
The tongs came from another guy I know who’s a smith and I did some plasma-ing for. They were a gift.

Looking on eBay for a metal locker for putting tools in. All seemed silly prices and Firesafe was listed, dimensions ideal so bought it. Thought it would be heavy so roped a mate in to help. I get there to find out it’s up two flights of steps and maze of narrow corridors. It wasn’t heavy. It was very, very, old school heavy and we had was sack wheels. Lots of sweat and a few panics getting down the stairs and it’s the Shogun but too long to close the back door. A few straps and a couple of prayers it was back home.
The lady selling it is closing the family business down and trying the clear the place before it’s due to be demolished next month and she still has a lot to get rid off.

I use one for wetting the sand for sandcasting.
I've got some tools with that arrow stamp on. But my uncle did work in the stores at a local RAF base.

The "Broard Arrow" was/is a stamp or mark to indicate A government department.War Department Broad Arrow
Ware department was stamped WD.
The old post office had GPO and a arrow or one or the other.
If you go to Clifford Tower and the city walls you will see the arrow carved into some stones.
If you really want to be accurate.
The tool stamped with a government marking still belong to the government, unless you can produce a ticket to say you have obtained them by honest methods.
