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

[Maker]

What do you see yourself doing? Project work?

I have absolutely no clue. I genuinely didn't expect to pass so I've been avoiding thinking about it. Open to ideas.

 

[Pete.]

Phew, just for a minute I thought you might be that guy who has 10,000 "Free Britney" tee-shirts printed. He must have placed the order over the phone because he received 10,000 "Free Brittany" ones instead

I guess he must be sitting at home keeping fingers crossed that France gets invaded

 

[Kram]

A 3mm er40, that was missing from the Indexa sets.
Some imperial inserts ag55 and bspt19. Im assuming bsw and bspt thread forms are exactly the same, or be close enough?!

The bsw19 is a Bohlerit, 11IL size. They didnt laser etch it I know my 11NL bar generally has a minimum bore about 12mm which is no good for 1/4bsp. I might grind 1mm off the back of the insert, or chop and braze to another bar like I have with the 22nr 4TR's.

 

[Seadog]

A 2.2kW VFD from Banggood. Eight days from ordering to receiving it, and a reasonable £51.36

Another step towards the mill upgrade. It remains to be seen how configurable it is, but I think it will suffice.

 

[James1979]

Bit different but I know a few of you are or work for/with farmers and we've just had some livestock

So today I acquired...........

Simmentals?

I have absolutely no clue. I genuinely didn't expect to pass so I've been avoiding thinking about it. Open to ideas.

Try Schlumberger, pronounced Slumber Jay. World's largest oil industry supply services. Oil well drilling, fracking, rescuing Mexican miners, they do it all.

There's never enough of it

 

[Rannsachair]

£11.60 Woden Titan TX260 ebay bargain I think. My brother wanted a small vice for his shed, he has been helping me a lot recently, so nice wee gift for him once I clean it up and lubricate it.

 

[Arc Tourist]

A 5/8" x 26 tpi Tap set, which looks to be of good quality, and a "folding" kick starter for the BSA Bantam to replace the original non-folding one.

 

[mechman]

I was nacka flush on a plant repair today and owner ses these any good to you, yes I ses. Bit of a clean should be ok. Citric acid?
Norm.

 

[JMS1972]

Yes for the citric if there is any ground surfaces left it won't affect them.

 

[mechman]

They look worse than they are.

 

[JMS1972]

Ideal candidate then.

Use hot water if possible and just add until it stops dissolving....

 

[4String.]

A lot of aches and pains .

Spent all day at the tennants' house near Durham replacing the dodgy metal gates in the back yard with a nice new wooden fence and gate. Obviously caught the sun despite wearing a broad brimmed hat and drinking gallons of various liquids, fell over twice and skinned both legs, and twinged my back lifting the old gates into the van.
.
On the plus side, the tennant helped me all day fetching and carrying and being perfectly proportioned she's very easy on the eye but it didn't help matters when I put the gate on the workmate to trim an inch off of the overall length and she decided to bend forward and put her weight on it while I did the sawing .

Thankfully she isn't clairvoyant or I'd be heading for another divorce .

 

[Tigman]

Any pictures ? Of the gates of course !

 

[4String.]

Any pictures ? Of the gates of course !

Sadly not.

I have images in my mind and that's where they're staying .

[Chillitt]

Sadly not.

Thats lucky, some of this lot had palpitations yesterday because of a pic of a tom cat....

 

[MattF]

Sadly not.

The spank bank has a new entry then.
