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

[Blobber]

please don't tell us you passed that ' naturally' Mine was the size of a grain of sand and the pain was incredible . The doc said the pain was caused by the muscles around the P tube sensing the foreign body and gripping it .

Yep all natural, retrieved from the pan and washed when I heard/saw the ping/plop! dont worry its a 5p piece for scale not a 10p

Is that hexamine cookers there TYA?

More recent than the 1950's, I was using those in the '80's!

And Baby's heads! Happy days!

They stop babies necks from fraying.

According to CK literature they are identical in size

It's the diameter of the handle that's bigger, it has to take a 26 sized power cable.

My Mate and pygmy pie in a blanket.

Steak and kidney pie is a suet case.

Apologies.

Baby's heads was a slang term given to a steak and kidney pudding within the military. I believe it started in the RN but quickly spread to all three services. They were actually very tasty!

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

They ARE actually very tasty!

Fixed that for you.

In the new RAT packs, they are boil in the tin. They go well with biscuit brown and source red.

MRE's are very nice (well some of them) personally like the Steak Stew with potatoes, and the chocolate brownie

 

[fnlvder]

Ah, gotcha!

I initially thought the same as you, welding supplies direct seems to be the only place that describes it as a 17 sized torch but CK call it a reduced size 26

Yes, but why pack 3 bits of paper single ply, single use, bio degradable in them?

 

[pedrobedro]

Especially if you've had biscuits brown. Any contract on them is legally binding.

Buy a Lottery ticket....no, buy two.

i dout im due any more luck for a while

 

[angellonewolf]

Thank " someone" you are all OK . I was going to say go and buy a lottery ticket but was beaten to it . possibly a good excuse for a stiff drink or three. I does make you/us realise just how thin a thread our lives hang on..

as above

but think i might do a lucky dip this week end

 

[Olderisbetter]

Got a load of old 19mm plywood and used two bits to make a wall tidy for my grinder wheels and bits.

A small momentary foot pedal pedal... thought I'd give it a go for TIG welding on the Lorch rather than using the switch on the torch itself as I quite often waver when using my thumb or finger. @Munkul Thanks again for the Tuchel plug; this is what I wanted it for.

I'm hovering over the 'buy' button on a CK TL26 (Trim Line; 26 current rating but 17 size) TIG torch but I know I should really investigate making a torch cooler...

Is that just a generic pedal?

 

[Tangledfeet]

Is that just a generic pedal?

Not any more it isn't; it's my SPECIAL pedal!

(But, yeah, aside from that it is; bought it from good old Radio Spares!)

 

[indy4x]

These arrived today, from China via eBay.

They are for my rotary converter

Cool. I want a pedal for mine. It’s only dc tig but I find them easier. Do you have a link please?

@James1979 You'll need imperial hex keys to get into it... I don't have any so had to resort to Torx! It's the wee silver screws on the side, not the screws on the base.
